Many thanks, Jeanne Katz Centre for Policy on Ageing and Centre for Ageing and Biographical Studies Seminar 15 in the Representation of Older People in Ageing Research Series Studies of ageing masculinities: still in their infancy? 1-day seminar Date: Thursday 14th February 2013 Venue: The Open University in London, 1-11 Hawley Crescent, Camden, London, NW1 8NP Aim: The event brings together scholars from different disciplines to consider the contemporary social lives of older men. Sociological and gerontological research concerning men's ageing remains piecemeal and under-theorised despite recognition of the gendered nature of ageing and burgeoning recognition that older men and their needs are largely absent and less considered in academic and public rhetoric. In this context, this timely one-day workshop seeks to improve understanding of contemporary men's ageing by showcasing current research in this area, to forge a multi-disciplinary network of scholars, practitioners and end users interested in men's ageing, and to generate future research collaborations. Programme: Speakers include Professor Kate Davidson (University of West England), Dr Paul Simpson (Manchester University), Dr Kate Bennett (University of Liverpool), Dr Anna Tarrant and Robin Hadley (PhD researcher, Keele University). Audience: Academics at all levels, post-graduates to professors and practitioners with interests in ageing and gender. We would especially welcome PhD students. Price: Tickets are priced at £30 - students and concessions £20. Register: Registrations for this event are now open.
