Due to the covid-pandemic, we had to postpone our annual meeting, scheduled for later this month, to next year. Yet we were searching for ways to engage with you. Hence, network members Vera Gallistl and Anna Wanka organised the first Socio-Gerontechnology Online Symposium “Materialities of Age and Ageing”, to give us all a chance to engage, discuss and reflect on technologies and ageing from a materialist perspective.
The symposium will take place on July 7th. In this event, we target everyone interested in ageing and technology, specifically early career researchers, and aim to, once again, bring together scholars from Age Studies and Science-and-Technology Studies to reflect upon the use and application of different ideas surrounding materialities in research on ageing and technologies.
Panelists comprise, beyond Stephen Katz as our keynote speaker, Alexander Peine, Anna Wanka, Cordula Endter, Grit Höppner, Helen Manchester, Juliane Jarke, Louis Neven, Mona Urban, Nete Schwennesen and Vera Gallistl. Next to this, there will be ample space to discuss and reflect.
Please join us for this exciting online symposium that will take place 15:00 – 18.30 CET on 7 July. You can find the agenda and sign up for this event here.
