9.30am - 4.45pm

The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to explore how age and ageing is represented in and through art, literature, media, medicine, education, policy, practice, language, communities and culture – in the process engaging and linking creative, academic, political, and personal perspectives. Delegates will come away with a better understanding of the assumptions made about ageing, the implications of these assumptions, and how these may be challenged.
