We are about to begin work on a literature review and bibliography for a project addressing the sense of isolation among older people. The plan is to give the project a sound platform, and it’s especially significant for us because it’s based in East York, Toronto – not just the city of Jane Jacobs but also the area studied by Barry Wellman in his pioneering work on local social networks in the 1970s.
Our credentials for this contract come from Kevin Harris’s book on Neighbouring and older people, which explored the ways in which formal and informal support contribute to the potential sense of interdependence for older people.
The ISEY project will cover housing form and vulnerability, informal support through neighbourhoods and social networks, and the role of formal community services. We’ll also be looking for good examples of survey instruments.
