 CATHY
GREENBLAT, PhD
Photo CV since 2002
Cathy Greenblat is Professor Emerita of Sociology at Rutgers University
where she served for 35 years as a member of the Department of Sociology,
Women’s Studies, and the Bloustein School of Planning. The
author of 15 books and more than 100 articles, she has lectured
in the USA, Latin America, Eastern and Western Europe, Russia, Africa,
the Philippines, China, Australia, and Japan. Since 2002 she has
been engaged in a cross-cultural photographic project on aging,
dementia, and end of life care. These projects have resulted in
two books containing her photographs and text: Alive with Alzheimers
(2004) and Love, Loss, and Laughter: Seeing Alzheimer's DIfferently
(2012) and exhibits from those projects in the USA, Europe, the
Middle East, India, Japan, and Australia. At present she is developing
a related multimedia project, tentatively titled "Side by Side:
Love and Joy in Dementia Care". Cathy considers herself to
still be an educator, but with an enlarged "classroom",
as she tries to make a difference in the world. Since her retirement
in 2002 she served as an Honorary Research Fellow at the International
Observatory on End of Life Care, Lancaster University, UK from 2006-2010.
She is currently an Honorary Professor at Glasgow Caledonian University
and a Researcher in Human Sciences and Photographie at the Center
for Memory Resources and Research (CMRR), University of Nice, France,
where she was an Artist in Residence for 8 years prior to moving
back to the USA in 2012. She works tirelessly and travels extensively
despite living with cancer since 1998
Personal Update:
I had a pause from much photographic activity in the last 2-1/2
years while serving as a caregiver for John Gagnon, my husband of
38 years and the major supporter of my transition from university
professor to independent photographer. John passed away on February
11, 2016. In the early stages of grieving, I wondered how to get
restarted in the photography world. To my delight, two invitations
for exhibits solved the dilemma. http://womeninphotography.org/photoprofile/JohnHGagnon/index.html
These two opportunities have been a wonderful present and I am grateful
for them. John would have been delighted.

Photo CV SINCE 2002
My three year term as Honorary Professor at Glasgow Caledonian University
concluded in 2014. My connection to the UK was recently renewed
thanks to an invitation from Professor Dawn Brooker to be the TAnDEM
Photographer in Residence at the University of Worcester beginning
in July 2017. As I write this, I am just beginning to return to
my photographic work following the loss of my husband… I’m
not sure what lies ahead!
WEBSITES, BLOG, VIDEOS
I am in the process of updating the website www.LoveLossAndLaughter.com
and an older more general one, www.cathygreenblat.com This section
now should contain a reference to a trilogy of films produced in
collaboration with Australian filmmaker Corinne Maunder and her
company, FireFilms. These are all available on YouTube, and links
to them appear on the websites of many academic and other programs
devoted to high quality dementia care. Here are the details:
2014 “Finding the Why: Starrett Lodge”, http://youtu.be/UK9NNJw4xUU
Winner of first prize in the Melbourne ReelHealth Film Festival,
2014. (The film was originally hosted on youtube here http://youtu.be/hZN1CyEiFNM
where it has more than 8,000 hits, but the first link above is to
the version that is properly credited to FireFilms and to Corinne
and me)
2014 “It Takes a Community: Arcare Helensvale”, http://youtu.be/hZN1CyEiFNM
2016 “Love Lives Here: Silverado”, https://youtu.be/MogyKUGPsr0
EXHIBITS (one person and group)
The Circle of Life exhibit listed under group exhibits, hosted from
September to December 2016 by Takeda Pharmaceuticals at their European
headquarters, was actually a two person exhibit built around my
photos of people dealing with various medical situations, ranging
from the caesarean birth of my granddaughter, Anjali, to several
photos from my end of life series and a new one, taken a few hours
before the gentle passing of my husband, John in February 2016.
That exhibit is due to travel to other countries, but the schedule
is still not finalized. Takeda did a wonderful job of creating this
exhibit, adding images of flowers, seascapes, and other nature photos
by Maike Piel to “soften” the experience of looking
at my more challenging images.
