Dear colleagues,

The call for papers is now open for all panels at the 2018 European
Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA) Conference. The conference
will take place 14-17 August 2018 at Stockholm University in Stockholm,
Sweden.

This year will also be the first conference for the new EASA Age and
Generations Network. If you are interested in care in later life, then
consider submitting a paper to the Age and Generations Network panel P079
"Staying, moving, (re)settling: Transitioning practices, actors and places
of care in later life". The call for papers will end on 9 April. Please
submit through the NomadIT portal on the website:  https://nomadit.co.u
k/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6607.

*Please share widely across your networks. We are keen to receive paper
proposals from non-anthropologists as well including: sociologists, social
gerontologists, human geographers, occupational therapists, and related
disciplines. Any geographical region is acceptable.*


Staying, moving, (re)settling: Transitioning practices, actors and places
of care in later life [Age and Generations Network]

Abstract

Later life, as with other stages of the life-course, is marked by periods
of transition. Older people inhabit a diverse range of spaces including
their home, homes of friends/relatives, hospitals, community care centres,
day centres, care homes and nursing homes. Each presents their own situated
assemblages involving diverse sets of spaces, actors, practices and
relations. Some older adults continue to stay in their own homes with the
support of domiciliary care, assistive technologies and family carers
thereby realising current policy agendas for "successful ageing" and
"ageing in place". Yet older adults may experience disruptions and
transformations in where and how they live out their later years inviting a
range of new spaces, actors and practices into their everyday lives and
care arrangements.

The theme for this conference presents the opportunity to critically
consider empirical and theoretical work from social anthropologists,
gerontologists and cognate disciplines interested in places occupied in
later life and how periods involving staying, moving, and (re)settling into
strange and familiar places affects everyday life and situated care
practices.

Papers might explore:

• Medicalisation of ageing and its effect on domestic/family relations

• Digitalisation of care and its effect on distant care arrangements

• Transitions from home to institutionalised care settings (and back)

• Meanings of "home" when living with cognitive impairments or dementias

• Changes in everyday practices from the third to fourth age of life

• Intergenerational care arrangements in the community

• Professionalising care work and distinctions between private/public spaces

We look forward to your submissions!

Kind regards,
Matthew and Denise
