Lingyi Shen'25
Cultural Anthropology
What does it mean to truly listen to those who are often unheard? In our latest episode of the Signature Work Series, we sit down with Lingyi Shen from the Class of 2025, who shares her deeply personal and academic journey into the lives of older adults with dementia.
真正倾听那些常常被忽视的群体意味着什么？在 MediHealth 最新一期的 Signature Work 系列节目中，我们采访了2025届学生沈灵羿，她分享了自己深入研究阿尔茨海默病患者生活体验的个人经历与学术探索。
Through ethnographic research in a residential care facility, Lingyi explores how individuals with dementia maintain their sense of self and personhood—even when their cognitive abilities decline. Her work challenges stereotypes and invites us to rethink how we perceive and care for those with dementia.Tune in to hear her inspiring stories, field challenges, and why she believes anthropology and nursing can work together to create meaningful change.
通过在一家养老机构开展的民族志研究，灵羿探讨了在认知能力逐渐退化的背景下，痴呆症患者如何依然维持自我意识与人格完整性。她的研究挑战了社会对这一群体的刻板印象，并促使我们重新审视对痴呆症患者的认知方式与照护理念。欢迎收听本期节目，了解她发人深省的故事、田野研究中遇到的挑战，以及她为什么坚信人类学与护理学的结合能够推动意义深远的变革。
