When Samia Akhter-Khan spent a year in Myanmar with older adults, she became curious to understand how loneliness operates in such social contexts where communities are tight knit. So for her PhD project, she chose to conduct research into loneliness in later life in Thailand and Myanmar.


In this episode, Samia talks to her supervisor Dr Rosie Mayston about the challenges of studying loneliness in different cultural contexts, how she learned a new language, and the theory she developed for understanding loneliness.
