Thomas H Bak Interesting stuff as ever, Thomas. I had a mute, non responsive resident in a nursing home, who only reacted when I spoke to her in Gaeilge (I’m unsure whether that was the language of her youth)
Charles Forsdick summarising the main points of a moving, informative, & intellectually stimulating day, bringing together researchers & practitioners from #medicine , #psychology & #socialwelfare care to #arts , #humanities , #linguistics & #translation Lingoflamingo
Amazing richness of ideas & food for thought in the play & panel discussions Lingoflamingo Charles Forsdick, what is the 'real self'? Does #dementia destroy it or change it, unearthing at times earlier 'selves'? And what about our own selves as perceived by dementia patients?
Arrived @ Scottish Universities Insight Institute @ University of Strathclyde in Glasgow for the reading of the 1st draft of a play about #bilingualism & #dementia Dr Inge Birnie Wilson McLeod. What happens to bilingual people losing the language connecting them to their partners?
What happens to #languages in multilingual people with #dementia ? Sometimes (but not always) they return to the 1st language they learned in childhood. A reading from a play & panel discussion this Wednesday 26/6, Glasgow. Everybody welcome! Dr Inge Birnie eventbrite.co.uk/e/cuimhnichibh…
