The 2022 Stephen Katz Distinguished Visiting Scholar in Interdisciplinary Aging Studies will be held on Thursday, October 6th at 6:30 pm in the Gathering Space at Trent University. In her public lecture Dr. Sandy Grande (University of Connecticut) will reimagine global aging as a site of possibility; as a conceptual opening for rethinking the central dichotomies and contradictions of contemporary society built on the exigencies of capital and settler hegemony: the centrality of work to existence; of economic growth to production; of age to declining yield, and ultimately of life beyond the productivist logics of capital. In so doing, she will consider how the lives, knowledge and care of Indigenous Elders help to structure conditions for societal renewal. Her central claim is that Elder epistemologies will become increasingly important as we work collectively to create new possibilities for anti-racist and decolonial futures.
The event is open to everyone and free, but registration is required.
