CfP Later-Life Negotiations: Experiencing Older Age Within and Across Borders DGSKA 2019 Konstanz
In recent years, there has been a growing interest to further understand the interconnections of two key phenomena of the twenty-first century: ageing populations and global migration. Relevant contributions include the recognition that older populations are not merely passive, but are also increasingly active players within their own personal and familial migration projects. Taking an agency-led approach, but also attentive to the vulnerability that some older populations face, we wish to unpack the social, cultural, political, and economic contexts in which social negotiations in later-life take place. We are particularly intrigued by the negotiable, but also non-negotiable dimensions of ageing and later-life, and its various scales of action – from the ageing body to the geographical and cultural nuances of growing older, as well as the realities of hardened state borders.
In this workshop, we welcome papers exploring the active embeddedness of older populations in transnational networks, how they engage with new forms of sociality, activism and politics, how they embody, negotiate, and experience the ageing process, and older people’s integral role in the various expressions of familial care practices. We invite papers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, with diverse geographical dimensions, and creative methodologies.
Please email paper abstracts of around 250 words to Dora Sampaio, Megha Amrith and Victoria Sakti ([log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]) by 10 January 2019.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for additional information or questions – we look forward to receiving your abstracts!
