CIRAC warmly welcomes guest researcher Mariana Cruz (Portugal)

Mariana Cruz ©CIRAC

Mariana Cruz is a PhD candidate at NOVA University of Lisbon. Her project is titled “In the Waiting Room: Aging and Late Life Institutionalization in Anglo-American Care Home Stories” and it is funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT).

Since March 2024, CIRAC is hosting Mariana Cruz for three months in which she is working towards her dissertation project. Mariana‘s choice to conduct research at the University of Graz is no coincidence. With CIRAC director Ulla Kriebernegg, she has the opportunity to work with one of the leading experts in Mariana‘s research area on literary representations of care homes, and at the same time has the opportunity to connect with other colleagues doing research in literary and cultural age/ing studies, while also gaining insight into CIRAC‘s interdisciplinary scholarship.

 

The CIRAC team is looking forward to three months of exchanging ideas and having Mariana share her expertise with us. Welcome to Graz!

Shared Life: Forum Theatre by Interact

Emergency meets emergency. Many older adults receive professional care at home — around the clock. To provide this, so-called "24-hour caregivers" leave their often distant homes. In “Shared Life”, they tell their stories — of closeness and connection, friction and conflict. Together with the InterACT ensemble, they bring these challenges to the stage and invite the audience to look closer — and to help create change. Touching. Moving. Boldly political.
