Dr. Skemp has curriculum expertise in community health, global health, gerontology, and qualitative research. With colleagues she has developed a 22-year interdisciplinary global health program for students in the Caribbean, South India, rural Midwest, Deep South, and urban Chicago. This interdisciplinary program integrates research, education, and practice to focus on promoting health and quality of life for community-dwelling older adults. The research provides a foundation for understanding elders’ naturally occurring personal care networks which inform the development and testing of culturally informed community interventions focused on Limb Loss Prevention; Family Involvement in Care of Persons with Dementia; and Intergenerational Relationships to address Stigma, Ageism, and Loneliness. Information technology is used to facilitate intergenerational and community communication, and culturally informed programming.
