Examining Equitable Aging through Community-Based Qualitative Research
This summer, I will apply emerging equitable aging conceptual frameworks to empirical studies in equitable aging. I will collaborate with researchers and community partners in data collection and data analysis in two subprojects of equitable aging that explore intersections of LGBTQIA+ aging, poverty, race and ethnicity, and health equity.
