Call for Abstracts
Thinking aging and care research together can harbor potentials for both fields, enhancing our understanding and fostering critical considerations of aging and caring intergenerationally and interpersonally. In both fields, theories, approaches, models, and methodologies have been developed to discuss different aspects of what it means to live and to age, to give and receive care, and, ultimately, to seek answers to the question of how to live a good and meaningful life until the very end.
Researchers engaging in inter- and transdisciplinary aging and care scholarship are rooted in multiple epistemologies and scientific cultures. They engage in discussions of interpersonal, intergenerational, and environmental justice and equality on social and political levels, and are invested in critical examinations of power relations related to capitalist, neoliberal, and other hegemonic structures. They analyze cultural discourses, representations, practices, and political regimes, looking at individuality, subjectivity, relationality, embodiment and materiality as well as sociopolitical, and environmental concerns. It is research interested in social transformation contributing to a more just and democratic ageing and caring in a heterogeneous society.
This conference teases out the potentials of bringing aging and care research into conversation by asking critical questions: How can aging and care research benefit from each other? What blind spots in the respective discourses become visible by merging them? How do theoretical aspects of aging research relate to care theory and practice, and vice versa? How do lived environments shape the processes of aging and care, and how, in return, do aging and care processes and relations shape our natural as well as imagined surroundings? What contributions to social change can they make in new and existing collaborations with each other?
We welcome papers that highlight significant interactions between aging and care research and call attention to how and where their interdisciplinary paths have led to new ways and genres of understanding, representing, expressing, contesting, and imagining the meanings, practices and cultures of aging, old age, and care.
We encourage participants to address:
- Narratives and representations of old age and care
- Intergenerational relationships at the intersections of aging and care
- Care ethics and old age
- Social practices of aging and caring
- Datafication of aging and care as well as implications of digitalization and technologies
- Social structures, future models, and political and economic perspectives of aging and care
