It was just a fluke, he said, that he eventually was hired for a job at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knoxseniors.org\">Knoxville-Knox County Office on Aging<\/a> (OOA). But that coincidence brought him full circle to serve a population he had grown up around.<\/p>\n<p>While he was working at the OOA, Winberry began realizing that aging isn\u2019t a one-note experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really helped me realize the inequities and injustices that older people sometimes experience; it also helped me recognize the complex and intersectional identities of older people,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re talking about gerontology, too often you\u2019re talking about a white, middle class person &#8211; and that\u2019s not representative of everyone\u2019s aging experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He carried that passion with him into the MSIS program and again when he became a PhD student at the College of Communication and Information, where part of his research agenda has focused on equity, diversity, and inclusion in information for older adults. This research \u2013 along with earning the SIS Diversity &amp; Inclusion Badge, serving on the <a href=\"http:\/\/utk Chancellor\u2019s Commission for LGBT People\">Chancellor\u2019s Commission for LGBT People<\/a>, and being part of the inaugural class of the Office of Community Engagement and Outreach&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/gradschool.utk.edu\/2020\/08\/11\/community-engagement-academy\/\">Community Engagement Academy<\/a> \u2013 was recognized when Winberry was recently awarded a <a href=\"https:\/\/diversity.utk.edu\/professional-development\/sponsorship-funding\/dr-marva-rudolph-scholarship\/\">Dr. Marva Rudolph Scholarship<\/a> from the University of Tennessee\u2019s Division of Diversity and Engagement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a gay person, I come from lower economic standing, and I\u2019m the first person in my family to pursue a Ph.D. The coming together of all those pieces reminds me of the importance of fighting for the rights of everybody. I think if you help everybody, you\u2019re making a difference for others and your needs are also included in there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In his application for the scholarship, Winberry noted he would use the funding it provides to expand the scope of his research and also support conference attendance in order to help increase his profile in both the information sciences and gerontology fields. Intersectional aging and how that relates to information is definitely the direction of his dissertation, and he said he looks forward to examining how he can apply his education, his experience, his skills, and even time spent with his Granny and Poppy to the information needs of diverse elders in research and practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe live in a youth obsessed society where growing older is often described with horror and disgust,\u201d Winberry concluded. \u201cBut I have never met an older person who prefers the alternative! Older people add so much to society and I appreciate this scholarship and the chance to continue my work supporting the informational and technological needs of these trailblazers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When he was growing up, Joseph Winberry (\u201919) spent a lot of time around his grandparents and their friends in a retirement community \u2013 he found himself drawn to older people, and it stuck.
