Visualising Age – an international, interdisciplinary symposium exploring ageing on screen

As part of ARK@25 our ARK team is hosting an international symposium on ageing on screen. Working with our colleagues in the Cultural Gerontology Special Interest group of the Irish Gerontological Society we are thrilled to welcome Professor Justine McGovern, City University New York who is the current Chair of the Humanities, Arts and Cultural Gerontology Advisory Panel of the Gerontological Society of America. The symposium will feature papers exploring gender and ageing in film and TV as well as an overview of the importance of arts and humanities approaches to understanding ageing by Professor McGovern. This event is organised by Gemma Carney and Sian Barber of the Queen’s on Ageing research network.
