Wandering the wards: institutional 'rules' and their consequences for people living with dementia

This webinar was presented by Professor Katie Featherstone (University of West London).  It is based on her ethnographic research on hospital care of people living with dementia, and will introduce us to the topic of the rules that dominate these institutions, the way these rules are constructed and enforced, and their consequences for patients.

The event was chaired by Ángel Leira Pernas, PhD student on the ARK Ageing programme. Professor Featherstone will present her work, which will be followed by a response from Mr. Pernas.

This is the first event in the Next Generation Thinking in Research on Ageing series, via Zoom.
