Abstract

We are living longer and working longer in an uncertain, post-industrial world.  As the pension age rises, can we rethink age, question the label “older person” and consider the ageing identities we’d like in the future? 

With the help of key ideas and research from social gerontology, a multi-generational audience are invited to re-think society’s approach to age. 

Coffee, tea and biscuits will be provided upon arrival.
