Building social science research capacity in Lewy Body Dementia: call for participants
Can you circulate this CfP, please. <br> <br>Many thanks <br> <br>Tiago <br>_______________________ <br>Are you willing to help us build the social science research agenda for <br>Lewy-Body Dementia? <br> <br>Lewy Body Dementia is a form of dementia that comprises both Dementia with <br>Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Parkinsons Disease Dementia (PDD) and accounts for <br>around 1 in 10 of dementia diagnoses. Its symptoms include fluctuating <br>cognition; recurrent visual hallucinations; REM sleep behaviour disorder, and <br>one or more spontaneous features of parkinsonism. Due to its heterogeneity, <br>patients experience is usually described as a roller coaster ride with <br>management often falling between speciality-driven services. <br> <br>Social science research has either focused mainly on Alzheimers dementia, or <br>preferred to replace the biomedical model with a psychosocial model of <br>dementia that emphasises personhood. While this may have been necessary to <br>establish a distinctive social science approach to dementia, it is now time to <br>focus on how a specific, if heterogeneous, illness experience interacts with <br>the institutions of biomedicine, health care services and patient <br>organisations. <br> <br>In this, Sociology of Health and Medicine Foundation funded Workshop, we aim <br>to build research capacity in the social sciences on Lewy body dementia. The <br>workshop will comprise of state-of-the art talks and researcher-led working <br>groups on key areas of research: biomedicalisation, health care services, and <br>patient and carer experience. <br> <br>We are inviting social science researchers at any stage of their career, <br>patients and carers to contribute to shaping the social science research on <br>Lewy-Body dementia. This will include a position paper on the social science <br>research agenda on LBD to be submitted to a peer reviewed journal, and the <br>possibility of being part of an externally funded research project. <br> <br>Please send to the contact email below, a 250 word description of your <br>interests in this area of social science research. We do not require <br>applicants to already have expertise in Lewy-Body dementia. We specially <br>encourage postgraduate and early career researchers to apply. There are 8 <br>Postgraduate bursaries available to assist with travel costs. <br> <br>Deadline: 29 March 2018, 5 PM GMT <br> <br>This whole day workshop is free including catering - and will take place in <br>Durham on the 18 April 2018. <br> <br>Organisers: Tiago Moreira (Durham U.), Claire Bamford (Newcastle U.) and Grant <br>Gibson (Stirling U.) <br> <br>Email: tiago.moreira@durham.ac.uk <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
