In this episode of ScHARR Communicable Research podcast, Dr Fiona Campbell speaks to collaborators and members of the public in relation to Intergenerational Research. The podcast was recorded in Falmouth at the Only Connect! conference in July 2022.
In the podcast Fiona interviews some of the iGEN project team, including Professor Jo Thompson Coon from the University of Exeter, Alison Clyde from Generations Working Together, consultants Iona Lawrence, Ellie Robinson-Carter, in addition to poet and advocate Ronald Amanze who wrote a poem about his experiences of loneliness:
I was invited to contribute my thoughts
To a podcast on the subject of loneliness
Needing time to process my reply
I didn’t know what to say
Then later someone inquired
Ronald where have you been
And I just smile and said
I’ve been here, didn’t you see me
It’s lonely out here
Jo Thompson Coon wrote a blog post about the Only Connect! Conference, which you can read here.
