At this inaugural research conference, we seek to build on the foundations of and define new formations in this vital and growing field.<\/p>\n<p>We invite scholarship and research that provides fresh insights into changing manifestations and interpretations of age through engagement with cultural texts (e.g., literature, history, media, public policy, adaptive technology), as well as qualitative or other meaning-based approaches. Presentations might investigate local and global implications of age and aging; consider how diverse approaches to studying age can enable richer understanding in traditional academic disciplines; develop new, cross-disciplinary methodologies that expose the often-unacknowledged effects of age relations and age assumptions; and\/or examine ethical, political, philosophical, or practical questions about what it means to be humans living through time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proposal abstracts <\/strong>for individual papers and themed sessions\/symposia are welcome.
