Anne Basting

Anne Basting (PhD) is a writer, artist and advocate for the power of creativity to transform lives. Emerita Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, she is Founder of TimeSlips.org, which trains caregivers to unlock the meaning and joy in elder care. Her speaking, writing, and large-scale public performances have helped shape an international movement to extend creative and meaningful expression from childhood, where it is expected, through late life, where it has been too long withheld.

Basting is author of numerous articles and four books, including Creative Care: A Revolutionary Approach to Elder and Dementia Care (Harper). Internationally recognized for her speaking and innovative work, Anne is the recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship. She is currently at work on the Memory Cafe Alliance, an effort to sustainably grow the memory cafe infrastructure across the United States. Her new writing can be found on Substack @LittleCaregiverRepairShop.
