Zusammenfassung: Drawing on empirical research with older South Asian migrant women, this book puts forth new understandings on how older, settled, migrant women construct and understand age through recollections of key life course events that are structured around gendered positions. Divesting from a Western-centric view and presenting a decolonial and Black feminist lens to ageing, the author presents intersectionality and transnational positionality as useful tools to connect old age, migration and memory in critical studies on aging. Chapters flesh out life course memories at different key stages and examines how the intersections of multiple markers of identity (race, gender, language, immigration status, age, etc.) shape how older South Asian migrant women understand and experience their lives. This book will be of interest to scholars with a focus on Gender Studies, Migration Studies, Ageing Studies, and Mobility Studies

Transcultural Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Health and Social Care provides healthcare professionals with a deeper understanding of the incredible opportunities brought by the emerging field of AI robotics. In addition, it provides robotic researchers with the point-of-view of healthcare professionals to understand what the healthcare sector – as well as the market – really needs from robotics technology. By doing so, the book fills an important gap between both fields in order to leverage new developments and collaborative work in favor of global patients. The book is aimed at the non-technical reader, especially health and social care professionals, and explains in a simple way the technological principles applied in the development of socially assistive humanoid AI robots (SAHR), the values which guide such developments, the ethics related to them, and research approaches in the field, with a focus on achieving a culturally competent SAHR. 2023 PROSE Awards - Winner: Category: Nursing and Allied Health: Association of American Publishers Presents user-friendly and stage-by-stage information to help readers appreciate how AI robots work and how they can be integrated in their work environments Explains why AI and socially assistive robotics need to be culturally competent Helps reduce readers’ fears and change negative prejudices they may have about robots as a relevant tool for healthcare Written by experts in AI robotics and the creators of transcultural health/social robotics Informed by the largest trial conducted with real patients

A longitudinal, intersectional study of migrant women, this book examines the lives of first generation Bangladeshi migrants to the UK, considering the dynamic relationship between people and place. Shedding new light on a migrant population about which little is known, the author explores the experiences of women who left rural homes to live in London, speaking no English, with no experience of local customs and having to adjust to what would now be dramatically shrunken family sizes, within which they would act as bearers of culture and tradition. Based on research spanning a decade Family, Citizenship and Islam draws on qualitative interviews with over 100 women and examines questions of identity, belonging, citizenship and Britishness, religion, ageing, care, and the family. With attention to the fluidity of the experiences of the first generation of migration women, the book offers an alternative to much ethnographic research, which often offers only a 'snapshot' of a particular minority or migrant group as fixed and preserved in time. As such, Family, Citizenship and Islam will appeal to scholars of sociology, geography and anthropology with interests in migration and diaspora, citizenship, gender, religion, family and the lifecourse, and the ways in which these different aspects of a person's life come together to shape lived experience.

Submissive, docile, exotic... These are the images of South Asian women living in the USA that are created and perpetuated by society and the media--images that define and limit the boundaries of identity formation for these women. This book enables them to speak out as they redefine themselves, their families, and their communities in their journey of exploration and growth and in forging a biocultural identity. Written by South Asian immigrant gender specialists, this collection of original essays explores women's experiences with immigration. The chapters span different generational, religious, and regional points of view and at the same time cover women's varied and often conflicting roles as mothers, homemakers, and professionals. Among aspects covered are whether the experiences of South Asian women differ from other women, they way in which their experiences are different from those of male immigrants, the impact of home culture on gender role expectation, and their way of dealing with these conflicting pressures. A significant and timely book on an important but under-researched phenomenon.

Learning is what makes us human and is critical to life quality. Researchers in lifelong learning field define learning as a lifelong activity reaching from the cradle until death. Knowledge is increasing at lightning speed in the 21st century. Consequently, people of every age and background put continuous effort into uncovering the information they need and mastering the ways of obtaining it to adapt to a rapidly changing world. Lifelong learning can be obtained through formal and informal education. While the field is widely explored, there is little known about the learning of migrants living in a host country in general, especially in gerontology. This study addresses this gap by exploring the learning experiences of older South Korean migrants currently resident in New Zealand. While the importance and the value of learning for the ageing population are emphasised and is often discussed as part of healthy ageing, as people age, they may struggle to get themselves actively moving daily, and this affects learning opportunities. Increasing attention is being focused on the growing numbers over 65 (senior citizens) in New Zealand. However, little attention has been given to the need for increasing numbers of migrants in this category. Ageing involves different experiences and varying complex issues; it may cause more difficulties if one has to go through the ageing process in a country where a person is newly settled that has different cultures and beliefs, and language. The participants in this study are 13 older South Korean migrants aged from over 60 to late 80, who have lived in New Zealand for at least five years. They shared their valuable in-depth stories of living in New Zealand as a migrant. Within the voices shared by those older Koreans, the study explored the kind of learning and social involvement that the participants have engaged with before and after their migration and their views on well-ageing were also identified. They shared their journeys of migrant life, how they tried to acculturate themselves into the host culture, and how they are ageing in this host country. Qualitative methods aligned with an interpretive approach and constructivist theory were applied to understand the life perceptions of older Koreans in the study with a semi-structured interview with each participant. Foley's (2004) four categories of adult learning was imported as a theoretical framework. The following themes were identified through data analysis: (1) all participants held positive perceptions for learning; (2) language consumed the biggest capacity that hindered learning; (3) learning was a crucial facet in well-ageing and; (4) learning produced joy and positive energy in participants' later-life. This thesis explores undiscovered later-life stories of minority migrants ageing in the host society and their need. Through the findings from this study, it is hoped that this study will enhance for more research around older Asian migrants' experiences who moved to a host country in their later-life, which is also an important area that is often less focused.

Whilst the vast majority of recent research on identity and ethnicity amongst South Asians in Britain has focused upon younger people, this book deals with Bengali elders, the 'first generation' of migrants from Sythet, in Bangladesh. The took describes how many of these elders face the processes of ageing, sickness and-finally-death, in a country. Where they did not expect to stay and where they do not necessarily feel they belong. The ways in which they talk about and deal with this, and in particular, their ambivalence towards Britain and Bangladesh lies at the heart of the book. Centrally, the book is based around the men and women's life stories. In her analysis of these. Gardener shows how narratives play an important role in the formation of both collective and individual identity and are key domains for the articulation of gender and age. Underlying the stones that people tell, and sometimes hidden within their gaps and silence, are often other issues and concerns. Using particular idioms and narrative devices, the elders talk about the contradictions and disjunctions of transmigration, their relationship with and sometimes resistance to the British State, and what they often present as the 'breakdown' of 'traditional' ways. In addition to this, the book shows that histories, stories and identity are not just narrated through words, but also through the body - an area rarely theorized in studies of migration. Book jacket.
