SUMMARY:The Contribution of Literary Scholarship to Gerontology
DESCRIPTION:Join Marlene Goldman on September 14th\, when she presents \n“The Contribution of Literary Scholarship to Gerontology”. \n \nSeminar will be held at L.R. Wilson Hall | Main Campus in Room 1003\n  \nIn Marlene Goldman’s ‘The Contribution of Literary Scholarship to Gerontology” she argues that novelists\, poets\, and dramatists play a profound role in any period’s understandings of illness and disease. In the case of late-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease\, language —specifically\, clusters of familiar metaphors and literary genres such as tragedy and the Gothic — constitute the central medium for the ongoing interplay between biology and culture. \nThe idea that fiction\, more than medicine\, is responsible for shaping our concepts of disease is central to her book\, Forgotten: Age-Related Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease in Canada and to her film Piano Lessons\, an adaptation of Alice Munro’s story InSight of the Lake from her recent collection Dear Life (2012). \nProfessor Goldman’s training in literary studies enables her to step back from authoritative and popular narratives about aging and age-related diseases\, to consider how they are narratively constructed\, whose interests they serve\, and\, on occasion to challenge their Gothic and apocalyptic pronouncements. \n  \n \nThe Gilbrea Centre 2018 / 2019 Seminar Series\nThis series creates opportunities for the exchange of ideas and stimulates discussion amongst associate researchers\, graduate and undergraduate students\, community members\, and older people. \nThis year we will be hosting several seminars with various research groups and networks to explore this year’s chosen research theme; “Visual Methods and Knowledge Exchange” with a focus on aging. \nMarlene Goldman is the first speaker we will be hosting as part of this series. \n  \nSpaces are available for this free seminar!\nMore information at http://gilbrea.mcmaster.ca/events or contact gilbrea@mcmaster.ca

SUMMARY:Karl Kinanen Annual Public Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Finding a New Voice: Writing through Health Adversity\nDr. Ellen Ryan\, Professor Emeritus\, McMaster University\nAcquiring a disability through accident or chronic illness (such as dementia) can threaten one’s sense of self and ability to interact with others. Journal writing allows individuals to rediscover their sense of self\, to release complex emotions by naming them\, and work their way through the many changes in their daily lives. Writing for others helps the author clarify personal experience\, find meaning\, and make a valuable social contribution.  Published illness narratives put a face on disability\, engender empathy\, advocate for a “disability-friendly” society\, and show how the human spirit can transcend disability. \nTo register call: \n(905) 525-9140 ext. 24449 \nOr email: \ngilbrea@mcmaster.ca \n  \nPresented by the Gilbrea Centre for Studies in Aging and in partnership with Hamilton Aging in Community and the Department of Health\, Aging & Society at McMaster University. \n

SUMMARY:Gilbrea Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Gilbrea Centre for Studies in Aging: Annual Seminar Series\nRural aging research: insights from the frontiers of gerontology\nRural regions\, small towns and villages have the highest rates of population aging worldwide. Relatively little consideration\, however\, is given to what it means for rural residents\, households\, communities and institutions to be at the forefront of twenty-first century population change. Indeed\, prevailing scholarship\, public policy and media discourse continue to view rural as merely a residual (non-urban) setting for empirical research on\, interventions for\, or romantic idylls of aging. What is missing is a greater understanding of rural as a complicated\, changing and contested space of aging – where older adults\, caregivers and leaders experience and transform the processes and outcomes of population change. Drawing on examples of current rural aging research in Canada and internationally\, this presentation examines how rural insights can inform many of today’s most important gerontological questions. The emergence of critical rural gerontology as a field of scholarship is highlighted\, and implications for research\, policy and practice are discussed. \n******** \nAbout the speaker: \nTrent University professor Mark Skinner holds the Canada Research Chair in Rural Aging\, Health and Social Care\, and is founding director of the Trent Centre for Aging & Society. He is a health geographer appointed to the Trent School of the Environment and was recently inducted into the Royal Society of Canada College of New Scholars\, Artists and Scientists. Dr. Skinner’s research examines how rural people and places are responding to the challenges and opportunities of population aging\, particularly the evolving role of the voluntary sector and volunteers in supporting older people and sustaining rural communities. His books include two new edited volumes by Routledge: “Ageing Resource Communities: New Frontiers of Rural Population Change\, Community Development and Voluntarism” (2016) and “Geographical Gerontology: Perspectives\, Concepts\, Approaches” (2018). \nThis event is sponsored by the Gilbrea Centre for Studies in Aging and  the Trent Centre for Aging and Society. \n
