MICRA's Tine Buffel to present Keynote for the Helsinki Inequality Initiative

The Helsinki Inequality Institute are showcasing a series of online talks from some of the leading academics on multi-layered questions of intersecting inequalities.

Due to present on 18 February is Dr Tine Buffel. Her talk, titled ‘Developing age-friendly communities with older people as co-researchers’ will aim to provide a critical review of some of the key questions and underlying assumptions that surround the participation of older people in research. Tine will describe her study which involved older people as co-researchers in developing age-friendly communities in Manchester.

Tine is a key figure at MICRA and directs the Manchester Urban Ageing Research Group (MUARG). Her research career has been distinguished by a commitment to working with community partnerships to study and address equity and social justice issues. Building on a background of innovative participatory and co-production methodologies with older people, she has been particularly interested in studying questions relating to neighbourhood and community life in later life, social inequality and exclusion, urban deprivation and developing ‘age-friendly’ environments.
