"A Story of a Marriage Through Dementia and Beyond is the extraordinary, unflinching account from sociologist Laurel Richardson of her love and caregiving through the last period of her husband's Ernest Lockridge's life - from his diagnosis with Lewy Body Dementia through to his death. This book will appeal to courses in a wide range of disciplines and fields, including health communication, nursing and allied health, courses covering death and dying, end-of-life, and illness care, and of course scholars pursuing autoethnography, creative non-fiction, and qualitative methods"--
Laurel Richardson Poradie kníh
Laurel Richardson je sociologička, ktorá sa venuje kvalitatívnej sociológii a sociológii rodu. Jej tvorba sa zameriava na písanie ako na formu sociologického výskumu a na dekonštrukciu tradičných binárnych opozícií v spoločnosti. Píše o tom, ako môžeme osloviť rôznorodé publikum a ako sa sociálne identity, najmä rod, formujú v komplexných vzťahoch. Jej prístup zdôrazňuje dôležitosť rozprávania a osobnej skúsenosti pri skúmaní sociálnych javov.
