Sam Carr on All The Lonely People: Conversations on Loneliness

We're delighted to be welcoming psychologist Dr. Sam Carr to speak on his new book All The Lonely People, which is a collection of writings on Carr's encounters with regular people - the forgotten, misplaced or misjudged - who all feel isolated in some way.

All The Lonely People collects hours of conversations with people young and old, including single parents, carers, teenagers and the bereaved - all shared over countless cups of tea. In stories of love and loss, of trauma and hope, told from care homes, living rooms, classrooms and kitchens, Carr discovers that while each of their stories is utterly unique, they are all born out of the same desire for human connection.

Sam Carr is a psychologist and social scientist with the Department of Education and Centre for Death and Society at the University of Bath. He was the director of The Loneliness Project, a partnership between the University of Bath and Guild Living (a later living retirement community provider).
