Trent Aging 2019 @ Trent University
May 31 all-day
Held at Trent University in Peterborough, Canada, Take Back Aging: Power, Critique, Imagination is the second joint conference organized by NANAS and ENAS that invites researchers, writers, and scholars from all disciplines and at every career stage to share their diverse approaches to conventional fields of gerontology and critical aging studies. We wish to encourage new insights into assumed styles of life and thought, imaginative reflections on the meanings and representations of aging, challenging perspectives from cross-cultural and global experience, and activist strategies to take back aging from those powers and practices that relegate it to the margins of social existence and citizenship.
Organized over four days in May 2019, we welcome you to explore our beautiful Ron Thom designed campus, enjoy the vibrancy of our city and forge lasting connections with colleagues from all corners of the academy.

About the Organizers
The North American Network in Aging Studies (NANAS) was established in January, 2013 by a small group of humanities and social science scholars who were interested in critical examinations of older age that moved away from the experimental sciences and instead spoke to fundamental questions of human existence.
The European Network in Aging Studies (ENAS) was first established in 2010 within the framework of the project “Live to be a Hundred: The Cultural Fascination with Longevity,” funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) in the program Internationalization in the Humanities. When the NWO-funded project came to an end in 2013, the European Network in Aging Studies was re-launched as a formal international association located in Graz, Austria.

The Trent Centre for Aging & Society (TCAS)  Drawing on Trent University’s reputation in interdisciplinary excellence, TCAS was established in 2013 to promote innovative research, education and community engagement on aging, old age, and older populations that is critically informed, challenges ageist policies and practices, and is responsive to the issues facing older people and aging societies.

British Society of Gerontology
Jul 10 – Jul 12 all-day

The University of Liverpool is delighted to be hosting the 48th Annual Conference of the British Society of Gerontology in 2019. On behalf of the Society, we warmly welcome you to Liverpool – a diverse and international city, and the home of the first Red Brick University. Liverpool is an old and culturally diverse city. It is the home fantastic theatres, museums, Tate Liverpool, the Philharmonic Concert Hall and two iconic cathedrals. It has a historic river front and easy access to a great coastline, including Anthony Gormley’s coastal sculptures: ‘Another Place’. Liverpool has experienced both the highs and lows of economic prosperity and experiences great social inequalities. The Metro Mayor, Steve Rotherham and the Liverpool City Region “want to drive prosperity, encourage innovation and expand opportunities for people and communities in every part of our City Region.”

Our Conference theme aligns to that aspiration: Resilience and Living Well in Local Communities . It builds on the BSG 2018 conference theme: ageing in an unequal world, focusing in on local communities. Research into ageing is a priority for the University of Liverpool and it has a multi-disciplinary approach to ageing from social gerontology, psychology, engineering, health research through to basic science. We will bring this multidisciplinary approach to the 2019 conference. The conference will harness the skills of researchers, scholars, practitioners and older people to address the question: how can we all promote resilience for local people and our local communities?

The British Society of Gerontology is a leading forum for the advancement of gerontological research and knowledge across the United Kingdom, and our annual conferences attract attendees from around the world. Whether new to research on ageing, a first-time attendee, a PhD student or a long-established member, whether interested in older people, ageing populations or intergenerational issues, at the conference you will discover a stimulating, diverse and engaging network of academics, students, researchers, policy makers and practitioners. Our common goal is to advance gerontological research, education, theory and practice in order to ensure improved quality of life for all.

We look forward to welcoming you to Liverpool in 2019.

With best wishes from the Conference Chair
