Grandparents’ experiences of grandchildren’s caring consumption during the disruption of Covid-19

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract / Description of output

During the disruption of Covid-19, many grandparents experienced loneliness and isolation. Drawing on theories of intergenerational caring through consumption, the circulation of care, and mattering, interviews with British and Danish grandparents found that caring grandchilding practices involving consumption contributed to their sense of mattering and wellbeing during those dystopian times.
