Research & Projects
Resilience in Aging
During the COVID-19 pandemic many Muslim older adults have lost access to their social support systems. This has resulted in more reports of loneliness and social isolation. We are conducting interviews with Muslim older adults, their caregivers, and local leaders to identify ways to enhance resilience during the pandemic. Together with Al-Rashid Mosque in Edmonton, we are implementing a series of digital and in-person activities to support the social and recreation needs of older community members.
The Women-CONNECT Project
Being socially connected means sharing common bonds, having feelings of closeness, and being socially involved, cared for and accepted by others. We want to understand Muslim women’s social connectedness in older age. We are asking Muslim women to share photographs and stories that speak to their social connections. Muslim women will participate in photography lessons and group story circles hosted at local mosques. A final exhibit of women’s stories and photographs will be shared with the wider community.
