"Rural Aging: Canadian Issues and International Contexts" Dr. Norah Keating, University of Alberta Thursday, May 26, 2011 Watch CHEX News coverage of the event. About the talk: Canada's vast territories and low density settlements along with a rapidly aging population have resulted in it becoming a world leader in research in rural aging. In this public event, Norah Keating discusses our state of knowledge of the lives of older adults in Canada, drawing on a review of research on aging in rural Canada over the past 20 years. She discusses what has been learned about the social engagement, independence, family and social networks, rural services and health of older rural Canadians. She highlights gaps in our understanding of marginalization and exclusion, of contributions and engagement, and of diversity of rural communities and people. Canada's rural aging experiences are placed in context through a review of the living situation and family connections of oder adults across world regions. About the speaker: Dr. Norah Keating, PhD, FCAHS is Chair, North American Region of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics; Director of the Global Social Initiative on Ageing; Professor and Co-director Research on Aging, Policies and Practice in the Department of Human Ecology, University of Alberta; and an Ajunct Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Alberta.

Continuing the Conversations: Celebrating 10 years of the Trent-Carleton Joint Doctoral Program in Canadian Studies May 13 to 14, 2011 Bagnani Hall, Traill College Read about the Keynote Address by Thomas King and about the Conference. To mark the first 10 years of the only PhD in Canadian Studies in Canada, Trent and Carleton have organized two celebratory events. In March at Carleton a new lecture series was launched in conjunction with the annual graduate student conference. In May, a two day event was at Trent which opened with a keynote address by Dr. Thomas King on Friday May 13th. The next day (May 14th) will began with a series of papers reflecting the breadth and critical perspectives of the research by our graduates and current students. In the afternoon, a roundtable of invited faculty, students and graduates explored what the next decade of Canadian Studies might look like. A series of high profile commentators from both within the academy were invited to reflect on what they hear throughout the day to conclude the formal sessions. A celebratory dinner concluded the event.
