This paper proposes bringing together work on the life-course and more-than-representational theories as one way to extend and complement current approaches to ageing research. Drawing on ethnographic research with older people in Manchester, UK, I argue that research on ageing should better foreground those less-tangible, temporal dynamics of experience which are often overlooked.

Barron, A (2018). Sonder Radio Interview

I was interviewed by Sonder Radio about my photo and story collection (Place, Belonging, Manchester). I was invited to exhibit the collection at the Royal Exchange Theatre on October 1st 2018 (National Older People's Day) as part of the 'Elder's Exchange Day'.

Barron, A (2018). Beyond ‘Older Age’: A Photo and Story Collection to Illuminate the Individual

In this blog post, written for Policy@Manchester, I detail why it’s important to understand older people’s individual experiences when creating age-friendly policies and outline my exhibition - Place, Belonging, Manchester. More details about this can be found here.

Barron, A (2018). Reflections on the RGS-IBG Mid-Term Conference

In this blog post, written for the RGS-IBG Participatory Geographies Research Group, I reflect on my experiences presenting at the RGS-IBG Postgraduate Midterm Conference.

Barron, A (2017). Check-lists alone cannot create age-friendly places: lived-experiences matter

In this blog post I highlight some of the many policy implications of living in an ageing society. Principally, I wager that the broad-brush approach to Age-Friendly Cities needs to be replaced with a focus on the lived realities of older citizens. This blog was written for Policy@Manchester and coincided with the 'Greater Manchester Ageing Conference'.

Barron, A (2016). Age-Friendly Seating and Sense of Place

I led a participatory research project on ‘Age-Friendly seating and sense of place’. This work adds a new dimension to existing policy and previous/current work in the Age-Friendly Manchester programme by bridging two elements typically addressed in isolation: design and place.
