Dear All
I'm sure you'll be interested to know that the AEA - Association for
Education and Ageing - has started a new International Journal of
Education and Ageing, For full details please go to
http://www.associationforeducationandageing.org/pages/journal.html
The editors would like to hear from you or colleagues or students of
yours about possible articles, reports of practice or resource reviews.
And I would like to hear from anyone who would like to join our
unique course at the Institute of Education, details here:
>The course is a master's level module which can be taken
>independently or as part of a full degree. It will open with a
>weekend meeting at the Institute of Education, University of London,
>on Saturday 27 - Sunday 28 February, 2010, during which we will go
>through the key issues of the course. Our guest speakers at this
>meeting will be:
> * Dr. Ricca Edmundson, School of Political Science and
> Sociology, National University of Ireland, will describe the
> humanist background to her new book: Valuing Older People*;
> * Dr. Richard Wiggins, Professor of Quantitative Social Science,
> Institute of Education will present his latest findings on labour
> market exit, volunteering, and caring.;
> * Professor Sue Hallam, Dean of Faculty, Institute of Education,
> will discuss the benefits of taking up music in later life.
> * Professor Professor Paul Higgs, School of Life and Medical
> Sciences, Unviersity College London, will speak about
> socio-cultural issues around ageing
>The weekend will be followed by 6 weeks collaboration online during
>which we will be joined by Anne Jamieson, Department of Social
>Policy and Education, Birkbeck College [TBC]..
>
>The orientation of the content is towards a study of the
>later lifecourse which leads into an exploration of the different
>contexts in which mature learning occurs.
Ask me anything else you'd like to know.
Best wishes for a happy new year to all
Anita
