Dr Angela Zhang is a social anthropologist whose research explores cultural understandings of ageing, health and wellbeing. These themes are evident in her recent work on care for nursing home residents. A current Senior Research Coordinator in Food and Health of Adelaide Dental School, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences of the University of Adelaide, she is passionate about enabling people to live a good life as they age. She believes this starts by developing a better understanding of the everyday experience of people who are ageing. She received the Australian Government Postgraduate Award and Emerging Researchers in Ageing Conference Bursary in 2015.

My research explores cultural understandings of ageing, health and wellbeing. These are themes in my work on care for nursing home residents. My forthcoming book with Berghahn Books is titled At home in a nursing home: An ethnography of movement and care in Australia. I am a social anthropologist and currently an Adjunct Fellow in School of Social Sciences of the University of Adelaide.
