A Masterclass delivered in person at BCU, City South Campus by Dr Moira Dunmore, from The University of Sydney.

Dr Moira Dunsmore is an early career researcher and senior lecturer with extensive interdisciplinary experience in nursing, public health, and health social science.

Moira’s post-doctoral research focuses on the social experiences of older persons, particularly in the emerging area of dual sensory impairment (DSI) in older adults. Her research explores social capital and stigma in ageing, social relational aspects of caring, health care access, and social networks of older adults with DSI. Early collaboration with Leeder Centre for Health Policy, Economics and Data at Sydney University (Vision Hearing Project [NHMRC]) and Vision Australia led to the completion of her PhD (2022) titled “An invisible disability: navigating the enduring state of dual sensory impairment (DSI) in older age” and further published research, such as the recently published book 'Dual Sensory Impairment: an invisible disability?' Lived Places Publishing, New York (2024). Dr Dunsmore will talk about her research and answer questions from the audience.
