Content: To understand the complex and varied pathways of identity among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) older cohorts, we must understand the socio-historical context in which they aged. Otis and Harley (2016) suggest sexual identities are socially constructed, fluid and continuously evolving through social interaction and meaning-making. Contributing to the complexity are various forms of discrimination ranging from overt macro-aggressions to subtle micro-aggressions, which over time lead to hierarchical social constructs that provide particular demographic groups more power than others (Goodman, 2001; Calasanti and Slevin, 2006). However, understanding the intersections of sexual identity with social constructs is difficult due to the underdeveloped body of research dedicated to exploring the diverse views, experiences and attitudes of LGBT older adults (Otis and Harley, 2016). While many researchers have discussed the dominant pathways to self-actualising sexual identity (Cass, 1979; D'Aguelli, 1994), others recognise the variation of experience and call for deeper examination of socio-historical factors impacting the timing and outcomes arising from one's decision to identify openly as a sexual minority person (Coleman, 1982; Kertzner, 2001; Herek and Garnets, 2007). Furthermore, Herek and Garnets (2007) recommend that ongoing research should be grounded in historical and cultural context to understand better the moderating effect social interactions have on mental health outcomes. Social interactions that framed the life trajectories of this population, internalised over time, inform their narrative identities as older adults and have revealed that we are at the beginning of adding the richness of a shimmering and reflective grey to the rainbow. In the next sections, we first consider the gaps in the literature and examine different trajectories of sexual identity formation shaped by social-historical contexts. We then explore these contexts as they relate to the personal identity. The review of literature concludes with existing research on narrative identity as it is understood to be the reflexive storytelling process individuals engage in to internalise their sense of purpose and to express themselves to others. Following the literature review, we explain how our critical perspective frames our narrative inquiry and adds dimension to our analysis. Our approach to understanding identity as fluid is especially valuable in expanding the current body of literature to include the changing roles and fluid experiences that inform one's embodiment of sexual identity in later life.

Series Statement: Technologies for sustainable life

Content: This monograph documents the current of state-of-art in Thermo- Active Foundations (TAFs) suitable for efficiently and sustainably heat and cooling buildings. TAFs, also referred to as thermal or energy piles, offer innovative and sustainable alternatives to ground-source heat pumps as well as other conventional heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to heat and cool commercial as well as residential buildings in several regions in the world. In summary, this monograph collects the latest multi-disciplinary advances in modeling, designing, and monitoring TAFs. Ultimately, it is hoped that this monograph will provide a comprehensive reference for both researchers and professionals interested in structural and thermal performance of TAFs and their applications in developing integrated and sustainable equipment and systems for the built environment.

Content: Dementia is one of the major causes of disability and dependence amongst older people and previous research has highlighted how the well-being of people with dementia is inherently connected to the quality of their relationships with their informal carers. In turn, these carers can experience significant levels of emotional stress and physical burden from the demands of caring for a family member with dementia, yet their uptake of formal services tends to be lower than in other conditions related to ageing. This paper is based on a qualitative study undertaken in the Australian state of Queensland and explores issues of access to and use of formal services in dementia care from the perspective of the informal family carers. It identifies three critical points at which changes in policy and practice in the formal care system could improve the capability of informal carers to continue to care for their family member with dementia: when symptoms first become apparent and a diagnosis is sought; when the condition of the person with dementia changes resulting in a change to their support needs; and when the burden of informal care being experienced by the carer is so great that some form of transition appears to be immanent in the care arrangement.
