Portraying Ageing: Cultural Assumptions and Practical Implications The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to explore how age and ageing is represented in and through art, literature, media, medicine, education, policy, practice, language, communities and culture – in the process engaging and linking creative, academic, political, and personal perspectives. Viewers will come away with a better understanding of the assumptions made about ageing, the implications of these assumptions, and how these may be challenged. -------------------- Prof Julia Twigg, School of Social Policy, Sociology & Social Research, University of Kent, Canterbury "Addressing the ageing demographic: older people, dress and consumption" -------------------- The British Library Centre for Policy on Ageing – New attitudes to old age Queen Mary University of London -------------------- Video sponsored by the QMUL Centre for Public Engagement
