Description

Mohammad Hossain and Natalie Pope use a life-story method to explore how culture and age shape views of aging and care. Their 2023 presentation grows from oral history talks with Virginia Bell, a social worker who built a famed friend-based model of dementia care. Bell, at ninety-eight, recalled the people and events that formed her approach.

A mid-forties interviewer helped interpret the story as it was told. Later, a first-year graduate student from Bangladesh joined the analysis, adding a third voice. His reactions are set against Bell's own, within past writing on aging. The project shows how self-story methods can place one life inside a wider social frame, the authors argue.
