Introduction – social policy and ageing through austerity
No full textThis chapter establishes the key arguments for this book, locating the text amidst significant knowledge gaps concerning the intersection of ageing, social policy and austerity. The chapter proposes Ireland as a unique and valuable case-study for the analysis, presenting in brief some of the conflicting and contrasting patterns arising from growing older during a time of economic recession and austerity driven social policy. The chapter presents the book’s critical gerontology approach. It describes the context of austerity in Ireland, charting the nation’s transition from unprecedented economic growth, to severe economic recession to, perhaps again, economic recovery. The chapter positions Ireland, and its economic crisis, in the global political economy and provides a critical overview of the historical evolution of ageing-related social policy in Ireland. The chapter ends by outlining the structure of the book and the contributions from each of the authors.<br/
Something of Who I Am
No full textSomething of Who I Am is a photographic exhibition of The Lively Project. The Lively Project is an academic, cultural and public engagement project devised and led by Dr. Gemma Carney, social and cultural gerontologist and Paula Devine, ARK Ageing programme. Dr. Leonie Hannan provided her expertise on the exhibition and Gemma Hodge produced the art works. The photographs exhibited on this website were taken by Twy Miller. In December 2016, our pilot Lively Project culminated in an exhibition ‘Something of Who I Am.’ The exhibition was held at the Crescent Arts Centre in Belfast. Curated by Leonie Hannan, the exhibition showcased participants’ objects, and Gemma Hodge‘s visual interpretations of their objects and interviews. Photographer Twy Miller agreed to take photographs of the exhibition. Twy did this beautiful work on a voluntary basis, and we are so grateful. Had she not taken the time to photograph our carefully curated exhibition, we would have no visual record of how all the pieces came together into a beautiful and evocative exhibition of the lives in time of Nora, Dessie, Bill, Drew, Anne and Carmel
Understanding partitions through older women’s everyday activism
No full textIn ‘Understanding Partitions Through Older Women’s Everyday Activism’, Paula Flanagan and Gemma Carney address women’s changing relationship with work in and outside the home against the backdrop of the 1937 Constitution of the Republic of Ireland which codified women’s role as mothers and home-makers, in particular Article 41.2. They focus on older women, those born after the foundation of the Irish Republic but still alive today, for two reasons. Firstly, older women can share lived experience of seismic changes in gender and sexuality in Ireland since 1922. Second, we want to expand on Flanagan’s (2022) doctoral work which raised important questions about the potential of older women to articulate a feminist constitution through their ‘everyday activisms’ (Flanagan, 2022: 25). Through connecting older women’s activism in contemporary Ireland, with Ireland’s socio-political past, we can chart responses to and reactions against such partitions, where women’s everyday responses in the private sphere provide the foundations not only for women’s activisms today, but valuable insights into Ireland’s constitutional future.<br/
What does the word ‘Europe’ make you think of? Conceptualisations of Europe in a local context
No full textThe present article investigates the construction of the sense of belonging toward Europe in the public sphere, employing a case-study conducted in Italy. The author argues that different conceptualisations of Europe are related to diverse “uses” of the media, familiarity with international cultural resources and participation in the transnational public sphere and civil society. These variables affect the construction of Europeans' sense of belonging
