Explores a range of key feminist writers and puts their theories to
'work' in doing autoethnography Written by a respected scholar in
education and gender studies Lays out a prcatical framework for
using feminist theory in autoethnographic work
Departing Radically in Academic Writing (DRAW) seeks to show
qualitative researchers that there are ways to embrace creatively
alternative approaches to writing, whilst fulfilling the demands of
an academic tenure system. Putting forward playful, arts-based and
creative writing/fiction approaches to writing up research, the
contributions in this book demonstrate how theorisation can happen
in different ways, particularly, for younger career scholars
struggling with their thesis submissions. Some of the contributions
in the book come from those who have successfully defended a
"DRAWn" thesis. Whilst this is not a handbook or "how to", it does
show DRAW and radical departure work can work in practice without
disadvantaging the researcher. Each chapter includes Author's Notes
on the chapter and Radical Writing Prompts to stimulate creative
thinking. Drawing on the work of Sara Ahmed, Ruth Behar, bell
hooks, Helene Cixous, Virginia Woolf, Laurel Richardson and other
literary and creative feminist, qualitative thinkers, Departing
Radically in Academic Writing will appeal to graduate students and
researchers in Education, the social sciences and humanities who
are interested to advance critical thinking through radically
departured work.
This book addresses important issues of ageing and spirituality and
reflects on the impact of culture on both constructs. The papers
are contemporary in that they include excerpts of cultural impact
on spirituality from New Zealand, Singapore, India, United Kingdom,
Australia and the United States. This book marks almost 20 years of
international conferences on ageing and spirituality that commenced
in January 2000. It opens the conversation to all who were part of
this journey of ageing, including older people, practitioners in
ageing and aged care, researchers, and those who reflect on the
process of growing older. Chapters feature diverse perspectives,
highlighting the need for inclusivity in conversations that
surround ageing and recognize how development of cultures is
influenced by the society where they emerge, and by minority groups
within larger society. Chapters also note the occurrence of
subcultures of ageing and aged care. The conference was held
shortly before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the
chapters being written often during times of lockdown. Their
content reflects the importance of spirituality in times of
isolation and can show ways of reaching out to vulnerable older
people, of various faiths and cultures, whatever their situations.
Changing Cultures of Ageing and Spirituality will be a key resource
for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Theology,
Divinity and Religious Studies, Gerontology, Sociology, Psychology,
Mental Health, and Nursing. The chapters included in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Journal of Religion,
Spirituality & Aging.
Humor expresses a certain heroic defiance in the face of life's
most challenging experience and provides a valuable resource for
the celebration of life and the divine comedy of faith, hope, and
love. From the book chapter by Melvin A. Kimble, PhD Studies have
shown that as many people age, their spirituality deepens.
Spirituality of Later Life: On Humor and Despair explores the
challenges faced by those in later life and the use of humor for
self-transcendence to achieve greater strength and deeper
spirituality. Respected authorities share their insights on humor
and despair in the process of spiritual development in later life,
with discussions on how to provide effective pastoral practice in
aged care. Spirituality of Later Life: On Humor and Despair
presents the major issues that challenge people in later life that
could lead them to either spiritual integrity or despair. Beyond
the physical and psychosocial, this book shows how the journey into
aging can through humor become self-transcendent and deeply
spiritual in the face of physical decline. This theological
perspective illustrates the full breadth of issues facing those in
later life.It presents effective pastoral frameworks of care for
those who struggle with the depression, dementia, disabilities,
losses, and terminal illness that may accompany aging. Spirituality
of Later Life: On Humor and Despair explores: humor as a path to
self-transcendence in later life later life's 'paradox of
well-being' and 'defiant power of the human spirit' dementia and
its effect on spirituality spiritual and pastoral care approaches
for those with depression religiousness in older people with
dementia the spiritual journey of hospice patients non-speech based
pastoral care Spirituality of Later Life: On Humor and Despair
provides valuable insights for aged care chaplains, parish clergy,
pastoral and aged care workers, social workers, activity officers,
health professionals, and anyone whose life includes an elderly

Explores a range of key feminist writers and puts their theories to
'work' in doing autoethnography Written by a respected scholar in
education and gender studies Lays out a prcatical framework for
using feminist theory in autoethnographic work
This book brings together theologians, clergy, people with
dementia, carers, clinicians and others to offer a holistic,
interdisciplinary exploration of dementia which focuses not only on
what dementia is and what it is not, but more importantly, what it
means to live well with dementia and to find hope where sometimes
it feels like there is no hope. Located within practical theology
and theological anthropology, the diversity of perspectives on
dementia presented in this book offers deep insights into what it
means to be a human being, to live humanly in the midst of
difficult situations, and helps us understand and navigate the
complexities of the dementia journey. In offering foundational
practical and theoretical knowledge, the book helps cut through the
false consciousness of modernity and enter a world where personhood
is defined not by our capacities or the loss of them, but by
God’s loving presence. It offers a contextual theological
framework to look beyond what we assume to be obvious and to
recognize the “hidden†depths that can be discovered and
encountered within individuals as they journey into dementia. In
doing so, it takes seriously the lived experience of people with
dementia and allows that to shape, form, and perhaps reform our
understandings of God, human beings, and what it means to live
well. Taken as a whole, the book posits that together, we can
reflect upon and act out a hopeful future that makes people’s
lives meaningful, purposeful and loving even in the midst of the
challenges that Dementia brings. Still Waters Run Deep will be a
key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of
theology, divinity and religious studies, gerontology, psychology,
mental health, and nursing. The chapters included in this book were

For artists, scholars, researchers, educators and students of arts
theory interested in culture and the arts, a proper understanding
of the questions surrounding 'interculturality' and the arts
requires a full understanding of the creative, methodological and
interconnected possibilities of theory, practice and research. The
International Handbook of Intercultural Arts Research provides
concise and comprehensive reviews and overviews of the convergences
and divergences of intercultural arts practice and theory, offering
a consolidation of the breadth of scholarship, practices and the
contemporary research methodologies, methods and multi-disciplinary
analyses that are emerging within this new field.
Explore pastoral strategies for dealing with mental health
problems! Mental health is increasingly being recognized as an
important issue in later life. This valuable book will help you
examine this dimension of aging in the context of pastoral,
spiritual, and cultural issues. It explores the relationship
between mental health, spirituality, and religion in later life,
including the search for meaning, cultural issues, spiritual
issues, depression, dementia, and issues of suicide in older
people. The first part of Mental Health and Spirituality in Later
Life focuses on theology, ethics, and cultural issues in mental
health and aging. The second part addresses issues of
multidisciplinary practice, including a challenging chapter written
by a woman with early onset dementia (Alzheimer's) and other
chapters that present perspectives on the uses and meanings of
ritual and symbolism in mental health and pastoral approaches to
care. Part one of Mental Health and Spirituality in Later Life
deals with issues of theology, culture, and mental health in later
life, focusing on: the importance of a richly textured
understanding of personhood as a prerequisite for constructing a
picture of late-life mental health in the context of theology the
relationship between culture, spirituality, and meaning for older
immigrantsand their effects on mental health the adverse effects of
a mental health system that reflects only the dominant culture of a
society, leaving minority cultures vulnerable to misdiagnosis and
inappropriate treatments that can do more harm than good a
wholistic picture of aging that moves beyond the biomedical
paradigm and demonstrates the power and potential of the human
spirit in adjusting to and moving beyond suffering Part two of this
valuable book addresses issues of concern to practitioners in
mental health and spirituality for the aging, including: disruptive

This book explores what it means to 'only talk feminist here' in
the contemporary neoliberal university. How do feminist academics
effect change? How are feminist voices sounded, heard, received,
silenced, and masked? We Only Talk Feminist Here offers insight
into the complexities, contradictions, and possibilities of
'talking feminist'; of writing as speaking, problematising notions
of voice and agency, of speaking into the silences and the ways in
which we fight for and flee to feminist spaces, and of talking
back. This book presents new possibilities for framing 'talking
feminist' differently, by exploring what we say, when we say it,
how we say it, and what it means when we do any of these things in
terms of our multiple and shifting feminist subjectivities. We Only
Talk Feminist Here draws upon interviews and conversations with
feminist academics in Australia to demonstrate the performative and
discursive moves feminist academics make in order to be heard and
effect change to the gendered status quo in Australian higher
education.
The project offers a collection of new interdisciplinary critical
autoethnographic engagements with Hélène Cixous écriture
feminine and work Three steps on the ladder of writing. Critical
autoethnography shares a reciprocal, and inter-animating
relationship with Hélène Cixous’ écriture feminine
(“feminine writingâ€), and in this collection authors
explore that inter-animation by explicitly engaging with Three
steps on the ladder of writing. Three steps is a poetic,
insightful, and ultimately moving reflection on the writing process
and explores three distinct areas essential for writing: The School
of the Dead—the notion that something or someone must die in
order for good writing to be born; The School of Dreams—the
crucial role dreams play in literary inspiration and output; and
The School of Roots—the importance of depth in the 'nether
realms' in all aspects of writing. Topics covered
include: ways Cixous’ work can address the need for loss
and reparation in writing critical autoethnography, how Cixous’
writing “makes our body speak†through concepts of birth and
the body in, through and of critical autoethnography, whether
writing in this way recast and reform prevailing orders of
domination and oppression, and how Cixous’ writing around the
ethics of loving and giving translates into response-able and
non-violent forms of critical autoethnography in relation to
otherness and difference. In this collection, we invite you
to “Let us go to the school of [critical autoethnographic]
writing†(Cixous, 1993, p. 3) with the work of Hélène Cixous,
and speak in a different way and through a different medium of
academic language, in an approach that reveals the tensions, the
paradoxes, the pains and the pleasures of writing with critical
autoethnography in the contemporary university.

Autoethnography is a unique discipline which steps inside and
outside the self to experience, embody and express social and
cultural meaning. At once a performative, political and poetic
genre of research writing, it holds the potential to uncover the
'heart of the world', if only for a moment. The author uses theory
as story and story as theory to explore her place in the world
through painstaking and intimate self and social narratives to lay
bare the unique challenges and rewards of autoethnography. Framed
around the metaphor of 'heartlines', the author explores
autoethnographic practice as critical feminist and decolonial work
and the power it holds for not only imagining a wise, ethical and
loving world, but for making such a kind place possible. Through a
performative journey of the heart, we travel with the author as she
unearths the power of words, of writing and not-writing, evoking in
particular the work of Helene Cixous and Virginia Woolf. This
reflective, passionate and pioneering volume will be of interest
and value to all those interested in autoethnography and the ways
in which it can be applied as critical, ethical and political work
in the social sciences.

This sensitive and compassionate book provides older people who are
nearing the end of life and their loved ones, as well as the
professionals who work with them, with a greater depth of
understanding of spiritual issues surrounding death and dying.
Illustrated with the experiences of many older people, it explores
important themes such as grief and loss; fear; pain, distress and
suffering; acceptance; transcendence; prayer; the healing of
relationships; and intimacy, and shows that the final journey
towards death can be one of the most spiritually meaningful times
in the life of an older person - a time in which there is still
hope, and in which the person who is dying and their loved ones can
grow spiritually, strengthened by the difficult times they face
together. Spiritual issues for older people with dementia who are
nearing the end of life are also explored, as are ethical and moral
issues in death and dying, and the ways in which bereaved partners
and relatives may come to terms with the loss of a loved one. This
concise and accessible book will be a valuable resource for those
in the caring professions and a rich source of guidance and support
for older people who are nearing the end of life and their
families.
What does it mean to grow old? What makes later life meaningful?
What gives a frail and isolated or institutionalised older person
their sense of wholeness and self? This substantially updated new
edition of Elizabeth MacKinlay's seminal text presents the latest
theory and research to explore these questions in depth, pointing
the way towards new ways of thinking about and engaging with the
spirituality of ageing. Encompassing the findings of a new research
study on baby boomer spirituality, the book presents a wider and
more comprehensive view of ageing and spirituality, concluding that
spirituality for the baby boomer generation is every bit as
important as for the cohorts before them, but also fundamentally
different, with fewer being practicing members of a religious
faith. Drawing on in-depth interviews with older people, and
containing many new ideas whilst also addressing the foundational
theories and questions essential to scholarship in this field, the
book also includes a new and timely chapter on the spirituality of
older people in our increasingly multicultural and multifaith
societies. This clear and practical text presents much-needed
guidance for health and social care practitioners, chaplains,
clergy and others seeking to identify and support the spiritual
needs of older people, as well as students and researchers in
related disciplines.
Spiritual reminiscence is a way of communicating that acknowledges
the person as a spiritual being and seeks to engage the person in a
more meaningful and personal way. This practical guide teaches
carers how to facilitate engaging and stimulating spiritual
reminiscence sessions with older people, and particularly with
people with dementia. After reading the guide, carers will
understand the many and varied benefits of spiritual reminiscence,
and will have developed the skills, confidence and communication
techniques needed to support people with dementia in this activity.
The authors present in accessible terms the evidence-base to
support the benefits of the approach and provide clear,
step-by-step instructions for facilitating spiritual reminiscence
sessions, including useful suggestions for ideas and questions to
stimulate discussion. Intended to be used either as a self-learning
tool or as the basis for staff training sessions, this will be a
valuable resource for staff in care homes and day centres, activity
coordinators, pastoral and spiritual care professionals, clergy and
spiritual leaders.
This groundbreaking book is based on the findings of the first
major study on spiritual reminiscence work with people with
dementia. Carried out over a decade, the study confirmed spiritual
reminiscence to be an effective means of helping people with
dementia to find meaning in their own experience, and interact in
meaningful ways with others. The authors present the evidence for
the efficacy of spiritual reminiscence with this group, and drawing
on examples demonstrate its many benefits, as revealed by the
study, including the affirmation of identity and worth whilst
promoting resilience and transcendence; reducing levels of
depression; and giving people with dementia a voice with which to
express grief, despair, joy, wisdom, insight and humour. Specific
practice issues are addressed, including how to maximise
communication and nurture connections during sessions; the role of
symbol, ritual and liturgy and how to design an effective spiritual
reminiscence program. Transcripts of sessions are included
throughout the book as examples, providing unprecedented insight
into how people with dementia experience spiritual reminiscence,
and encouraging reflective practice. The book closes with a set of
suggested questions and discussion topics which can be used as the
basis of a six week program. Providing theory and the latest
research as well as a wealth of practical information and examples
to guide practice, this book will be of interest to dementia care
practitioners and activity coordinators, pastoral carers, aged care
chaplains, practical theologians, students, academics and
researchers.
Spiritual Growth and Care in the Fourth Age of Life explores the
spiritual dimension of ageing and investigates the role of pastoral
and spiritual care in helping the frail elderly cope with
end-of-life issues. Focusing on the experience of nursing home
residents and anecdotes gathered in interviews, MacKinlay
sensitively presents the struggles facing older people in need of
care, such as loss of independence and privacy. Her findings show
that despite ill health, loneliness and depression, older people
near the end of their lives find meaning and support in
(re)discovering their spirituality, and that this is not just the
experience of those in care facilities, but of older people more
generally. The book includes a useful chapter on spiritual
assessment, providing carers with information on how to recognise
the need for care. This book will be of interest to nurses, care
workers, pastoral support professionals and anyone else working
with older people.
One of the biggest debates in Australian Indigenous education today
revolves around the many contested and competing ways of knowledge
about Indigenous cultures and the means by which Indigenous
intellectual traditions and knowledges make the journey into
mainstream educational settings. Grounded in Bakhtin's theories of
dialogue and voice, this book explores the polyphonic nature of
power relations, performance roles and pedagogical texts in the
context of teaching and learning Indigenous Australian women's
music and dance. In this discussion, the author focuses on her
experiences as a lecturer in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Studies Unit at the University of Queensland and her
involvement in this educational setting with students and guest
lecturers/performers. The performance classroom is examined as a
potential site for disturbing and dislocating dominant modes of
representation of Indigenous women's performance through the
construction, mediation and negotiation of Indigenous knowledge
from and between both non-Indigenous and Indigenous voices. This
book contains a CD with video clips illustrating the ways in which
an embodied approach to teaching and learning happens in this
classroom context.
What gives a frail and isolated or institutionalised older person
their sense of wholeness and self? What makes later life
meaningful? This clear and practical text presents much-needed
guidance for health and social care practitioners, as well as for
religious professionals, seeking to identify and meet the spiritual
needs of older people in their caring role. Drawing on in-depth
interviews with older people, Elizabeth MacKinlay, an experienced
nurse and chaplain, develops an understanding of spirituality that
enables the reader to explore the spiritual dimension of ageing and
to learn how it contributes to well being and health in later life.
This accessible and inspiring book will be a useful text for
students, trainers and academics, policy makers and practitioners
in health and social care, as well as religious professionals, in
hospital, residential and other caring settings.
This publication brings together plenary addresses and other papers
originally present at the Second International Conference on
Ageing, Spirituality and Well-Being. The contributions are
compassionate, warm and humane. The book is often insightful,
frequently surprising, and can, without hesitation, be recommended
as an introductory text to undergraduate nurses who wish to pursue
those themes so ably captured by the title.' - Nursing Philosophy
'This is a timely book, appearing when those in the medical
profession are beginning to accept that the spiritual and religious
needs of people, and in particular older people, are important
subjects which deserve to be considered when assessing the quality
of life of a patient.' - Signpost 'I enjoyed reading this book,
with its rich explorations and insights into spirituality in later
life... It brings together the views of some of the most well known
academics, theologians and medical professionals working in this
area... This book is beautifully edited, with an ample
introduction, biographies of each of the presenters and enough
reading references to fill at least a section of a library. Jewell
says he hopes it will be a worthy contribution to the ongoing
discussion of spirituality and well -being, and in this he
undoubtedly succeeds. There are many snapshots of the life stories
of older people scattered throughout the book. I will conclude with
the comment of a woman with dementia to her occupational therapist
after an art activity: "We have been on a wonderful journey, you
and I. What fun we have had, laughing and singing. Holding a
rainbow in our hands".' - Journal of Dementia Care 'It should be
required reading for EVERY pastor, carer, visitor, family member'.
-The Expository Times 'We are told that we live in a society where
ageing is often viewed as an embarrassment, suffering and dying a
meaningless experience and death a medical failure. The
contributors, from medicine, theology and the social sciences, aim
to give guidance on how the particular spiritual needs of the
elderly can be defined and addressed; and how meaningful care and
support can be given.' - The International Journal of Psychiatric
Nursing Research 'This timely book is an excellent, accessible
introduction to the spiritual aspects of ageing and deserves to be
widely read by anyone with a pastoral concern. It also offers
useful practical insights into our own ageing and suggests ways in
which we might approach it creatively and with confidence.' -
Methodist Recorder 'This collection of essays on the spiritual
well-being of older people has something to offer believers and
non-believers alike... All the contributors ponder the application
of spirituality, either as a part of formal religion or not, to the
lives of older people, and conclude that this area of care is
fundamental to positive living in the fourth age of life... the
essays are a thought-provoking and insightful contribution to the4
provision of hostilic care in old age. - Community Care 'This is an
interesting and worthwhile book. The writings come from people of
disparate professions and experiences and from several continents.
We all have a great deal to learn of and from each other's
traditions. I hope it will be read and used widely by church groups
as well as professionals "living off the geriatric burden''. There
is wonderful material here to help us make something of our
awareness that there is more to life than individual material
well-being.' -Dementia Plus Website How can we promote the enduring
well-being of those who are moving into the 'fourth' age of life?
Ageing, Spirituality and Well-being explores how well-being is not
about physical health alone; having purpose in life and continual
spiritual growth are vital elements for older individuals. This
book provides guidance on how the particular spiritual needs of
this age group can be defined and addressed, and how meaningful
care and support can be given. The contributors use their expertise
in the fields of medicine, theology and the social sciences to
explore ways of overcoming obstacles and finding a balance when
dealing with the inner, and inextricably linked outer, lives of
elders, including those with dementia or who have had strokes. A
collection of diverse views, practical observations and sound
advice, this is a thought-provoking resource for all those
concerned with the physical, mental and pastoral well-being of
older people.
