I am currently developing research projects and potential interventions around the following questions:

• How does loneliness shape how we live—and how we die?

• How do we care for the estranged and the isolated?

• What do institutions owe us at the end of life, and how can they be built to suit the changing social needs of our elders and community members?

If you are interested in learning more, please email me at gilhayes@uiowa.edu

When these projects have reached a later stage of development, opportunities to engage will be posted on this website page.
