“…It should be noted that these studies used quantitative methods to assess loneliness, often in a dichotomous, 'yes' or 'no' fashion, or via Likert scales. Loneliness is a highly complex (Mchugh Power, 2021) and we must consider the external validity of the studies above.…”

<p><strong>This research explored a Filipino student music therapist’s experience exploring their intersectional identities while on placement in aged-residential care settings. The use of a critical autoethnography enabled the student to examine their experience deeply, and through thematic analysis of session notes, reflexive and reflective journals, and supervision discussions, four themes emerged: 1) Locating the self, 2) Enhancing connection in and around therapeutic interactions, 3) Dissonance in and around therapeutic interactions, and 4) Restorative practices. The findings highlight the ways in which the intersectional identities of both the student music therapist and residents/ music therapy participants interact. Depending on the situation, the music therapist experiences subjugation through microaggressions directed at their minority identity(ies), however, the residents experience subjugation when they encounter the unchecked biases or privilege’s held by the music therapist. These findings relate to broader ideas of accountability, self-compassion, and intersectionality. Accountability enables reflection on how our role as music therapists affords us power, and that we should strive to develop awareness of our unchecked biases and privileges. Self-compassion provides music therapists with minority identities a framework to address their subjugation without decontextualizing or invalidating the lived experiences of music therapy participants. Intersectionality allows the music therapist to hold onto the complexities that arise across therapeutic interactions and acknowledge that not all differences require resolution. Engaging critically and reflexively with our intersectional identities is crucial as they inform our experience as music therapists, and therefore, how our participants experience music therapy.</strong></p>

Restrictions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have limited opportunities for older people to participate in face-to-face organised social activities. Many organisations moved these activities online, but little is known about older adults' experiences of participating in those activities. This paper reports an investigation of older adults' experiences of participating in social activities that they used to attend in-person, but which were moved online because of strict lockdown restrictions. We conducted in-depth interviews with 40 older adults living independently (alone or with others). Findings from a reflexive thematic analysis show that online social activities were important during the pandemic for not only staying connected to other people but also helping older adults stay engaged in meaningful activities, including arts, sports, cultural, and civic events. Online activities provided older adults with opportunities to connect with like-minded people; share care, encouragement, and support; participate in civic agendas; learn knowledge and develop new skills; and experience entertainment, distraction, and mental stimulation. Our participants had diverse perceptions of the transition from in-person to online social activities. Based on the findings, we present a taxonomy of multi-layered meaningful activities for older adults' digital social participation and highlight implications for future technology design.
