Survey Launch! Link below ↓
As some may be aware my research project for Laidlaw involves an online survey to aid me in responding to the question "What is the role of social media communication in older people's lives and to what extent can it help mitigate loneliness?" I am excited to say this survey is now officially live from today until the 28th of August and can be accessed via the link below. It is open to anyone aged 65 or over and is an English speaker. I would greatly appreciate it if any of my fellow scholars know someone who would be eligible to share this link with them.

This research study, titled "What is the role of social media communication in older people's lives and to what extent can it help mitigate loneliness?" is being conducted by Sebastian Glasper, an Undergraduate student at the University of Leeds. The aim of the study is to explore participants' thoughts and experiences regarding the use of social media technology and its impact on their social life. This study has been ethically approved by the AREA FREC Research Ethics Committee at the University of Leeds (reference: BESS+ FREC 2023-0653-831).
Hi, I'm Sebastian, I'm a creative professional with experience in the communications field. I recently completed my leadership-in-action project in Medellín, Colombia, focused on supporting local non-profits with innovative funding and communication strategies. My Laidlaw research delved into the topic of mental health and communication strategies for older adult populations. I am passionate about community engagement and sustainable solutions, collaborating with diverse teams to drive impactful results. I am now onto my placement year at the University of Leeds, while also continuing my social volunteer work with local organisations such as @sasha_uol and @rainbowjunktion. I'm also always more than happy for a chat but the best results are reaching out on LinkedIn ⭐

Hi Sebastian, have you spoken with Nic Palmarini about this? He is the Head of the UK Centre for Aging. I am sure he would be willing to help you with it. He is a Laidlaw Schools Trust trustee, completely brilliant and all round lovely person.
Hi Susanna! I haven't but I'll definitely reach out thank you :)
