- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 03:30 pm – Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 04:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Come and learn about new research from across the world, on the important topic of #grandparenting.About this EventCome and hear about new research from across the world on the important topic of grandparenting.  Over the course of an hour, you’ll hear from a panel of experts from different disciplines, including psychology, anthropology and medicine, and have the chance to ask your questions. The session aims to stimulate open sharing of ideas and perspectives.  Our first speaker is Dr Terri Apter, author of many books about family relationships, who will introduce her new book on grandparenting, which draws on a wealth of multi-generational interviews conducted in the UK and the USA.  Our next three speakers will present on their research on grandparents that straddles several distinct contexts: Dr Sarah Lloyd-Fox will report on findings from focus groups with grandparents in The Gambia and the UK. Sarah is a UKRI Future Leader at the Centre for Child, Adolescent and Family Research.  Ms Yining Shi will present findings from interviews with grandparents who are caring for ‘left behind’ children in China. Yining is a PhD student at the Centre for Child, Adolescent and Family Research.  Dr George Gillett will draw on insights from fieldwork experiences with BaYaka hunter-gatherers in the Congo regarding the roles played by grandparents in childcare, community organisation and knowledge dissemination. George is a psychiatrist, and a PhD student at the Department of Social Anthropology and the Centre for Child, Adolescent and Family Research.  In our final slot, we will welcome two NHS colleagues from Addenbrooke’s Hospital: Dr Andrew Graham, a consultant neurologist, and Dr Renate Claassen, a consultant gerontologist. Andrew’s work at Addenbrooke’s and Ipswich Hospitals gives him lots of experience regarding the importance of social stimulation for healthy ageing. Renate will talk about her experience of working with older adults in the UK and The Netherlands, and of the importance of social stimulation for keeping dementia at bay.  We are hoping for a multi-generational audience so that our conversations can be rich in perspectives to enable the translation of academic research to real-world situations. Tea and coffee will be provided.

The festival will primarily be digital in 2021 – to enable wide-reaching engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. \r\rThere will still be strong and distinct platforms for the Sciences and the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. And the new Festival will include a uniquely Cambridge eclectic mixture of over 350 events and activities: from panel discussions, film premieres, and self-guided walking tours, to ‘try this at home’ activities for the whole family. Topics cover the breadth of Cambridge research and will be presented across the Festival’s four themes: Society, Health, Environment and Explore!"
