Ageing Out of Place: The Role of Traditional Practices in the Ageing Chinese Diaspora

By Zhen Jane Liu

EMS300 Student Conference 2026

Slide 1: Ageing out of place:. A full description follows.

1 of 7

Summary

The concept of 'Ageing out of place' within the Chinese diaspora is explored, focusing on traditional practices and their impact on health and identity. The study aims to understand how this population engages with traditional medicines and the implications for their ageing experience. Key findings indicate that medical pluralism influences healthcare engagement, often leading to a reliance on traditional methods over Western medicine due to structural barriers. Future research directions are suggested, including leisure activities among migrants and ethnographies of the UK Chinese community.
