Dean’s Lecture 2024: Empowering Older Persons for Community Resilience
Our Distinguished Speaker
Dr. Emi Kiyota is the founder and director of Ibasho, an organization that facilitates the co-creation with elders of socially integrated, sustainable communities that value their elders. Dr. Kiyota holds a PhD in architecture from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She is a consultant with over 20 years of experience in designing and implementing person-centered care in long-term care facilities and hospitals globally. She has published journal articles and book chapters and serves on the board of directors of the Global Ageing Network. Dr. Kiyota has been awarded fellowships to investigate this topic, including the Loeb Fellowship at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University, the Rockefeller Bellagio Residency Fellowship, and the Atlantic Fellowship for Equity in Brain Health at the Global Brain Health Institute at University of California, San Francisco.
Lecture Topics
Dr. Kiyota explores how design can build a climate-resilient society that empowers older adults. She dives into the key concept of “Ibasho;” creating spaces where older adults feel a sense of belonging and purpose. By embracing these principles, Dr. Kiyota concludes that we can design for climate resilience while empowering older adults to thrive and contribute to society.
Special Thank You
A special mahalo to the UH Manoa Center on Aging and the Long-Term Care Taskforce of the Coalition of Family Caregivers for supporting Dr. Kiyota’s visit.
