Description

Elder abuse and migration: Supporting safer ageing in Australia. This project will investigate how migration intersects with elder abuse to reduce the risk, impact and acuity of abuse for older migrants living in Australia. Using sociological qualitative methods, the project will deliver empirical evidence and theoretical understandings of how elder abuse is affected by migration policy, cultural factors, and transnational family dynamics. Expected outcomes include new knowledge about the lives of vulnerable older adults at risk of harm, and the kinds of community and service supports they need to age well. The project will deliver policy recommendations to support safer ageing in multicultural Australia and resources to inform both community members and professionals working in relevant sectors.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4410 - Sociology. Lead: Dr Catriona Stevens
