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 send an abstract of max. 1.200 characters (incl. spaces) and also a short version of max. 300 characters (incl. spaces) directly to the workshop organizers: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Deadline: February 15, 2019 [Image result for mmg mpi] Dr Victoria K.
