Social Policy and Practice, Fall 2023

About Suzanne England

I am a Professor of Social Work at New York University who is passionate about new approaches to teaching and learning. My current areas of study include: memory and memory loss in close relationships, cultural meta-narratives and archetypes of aging, old age, Alzheimer’s Disease and caregiving, and portrayals of old age and relationships in popular culture, literature, drama, autobiography and memoir focusing on metaphors, figurative language, and dialogue, particularly where policy and practice relevant issues arise. I have published widely in the areas of aging, narrative, moral reasoning, and policies and practices related to the care of the frail elderly. Some recent publications include: “Private Troubles, Master Narratives: Dilemmas of Dementia Care in a Short Story" (The Gerontologist), “Sweet Old Things: Moral and Relational Performances of Old Age in Muriel Spark’s Memento Mori” (Journal of Aging Studies), “Memory’s Stories and Sites in Driving Miss Daisy" (Storytelling: A Critical Journal of Popular Culture), and “Unfiltered: Donald Hall on the Contraries of Old Age” (The Gerontologist).

I live in Fort Greene Brooklyn, sing alto in The Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church's Inspirational Ensemble, and have a pair of friendly kittens, Petey and Pearl.
