Lezing 'Person-centred care and the human experience of ageing'

Their conversation challenges the assumption that SR (shared reading) produces uniform effects regardless of context. Instead, they highlight how reading experiences arise from the dynamic interplay between texts, readers, facilitation strategies, and the cultures of care that shape each setting.

From this shared inquiry emerges a central question: how can SR be adapted in responsive, reflective ways without reducing participants to diagnostic labels or predefined social categories?

By considering both participants and caregivers, formal and informal, the physician and the literary scholar explore how more heterogeneous SR groups might foster less stigmatising interactions, deepen mutual understanding, and soften traditional boundaries between caregivers and care recipients.
