Call for Abstracts and Invitation to Delegates
 
Science and technologies are becoming increasingly significant to
people's experiences of growing older; innovations and developments that
are likely to influence the context, nature, experiences and
understandings of ageing and embodiment. This one day conference seeks
to bring together researchers, academics and practitioners whose work
explores and highlights the diverse ways in which science and
technologies interconnect with and influence our ageing bodies. We
encourage researchers to share their perspectives on science,
technologies and ageing bodies and welcome abstracts on different
theoretical and methodological approaches, different disciplines,
emergent ideas, work in progress, practitioner perspectives, and
empirical findings.
 
We invite abstracts for presentations that will be 15 - 20 minutes in
length. When submitting your abstract please use the BSA abstract form
