📢 New research just published from our @EPAIreland funded STATION AIR project coordinated by @EnvDrJohnG. The research examines air quality levels in and around Heuston Station.
The paper is available here open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.202…
Prof Des O’Neill, @TUH_Tallaght (TUH), has launched a new report that examines the links between housing conditions and the health of older people. The research was funded by The Meath Foundation and involved TUH, @AgeFriendlyIrl , @Trinity_Haus and BRE - housingagency.ie/publication…
Research takes time. Slow, steady & method(olog)ical. Having completed all our research activities, we’re now doing the good work of drawing out key findings to underpin the next phase of our work – the development of a set of Universal Design Guidelines for RLTC in Ireland.
@TomEGrey presenting key findings. The research highlights 3 main issues:
💡implications that poor housing conditions have on older people
💡urgent need for better housing data
💡need to support & expand integrated approaches to housing and care of older people
@JenniferEODee gives overview of methodological approach underpinning the research - including overview of the stakeholder engagement approach - centred around the lived experience of older persons, the @Trinity_Haus approach involved focus groups, diaries, & home visits.
The view from here - while you’re here, take some time to read “The Poetics of Space (in Time)” by our Research Fellow @dimitraxidous - drawing poetic & research gazes together, she writes about time, stewardship & our connection with/in nature: networknature.eu/poetics-spa…
