The TCAS Aging & Society Seminar Series is a set of guest lectures hosted by the Centre each year. We bring in researchers from a wide range of disciplines to discuss their work and illuminate current issues facing older adults and their supporters. Critical dialogue is most encouraged at these free events. All welcome.

Decolonizing Dementia: Deconstructing a Critical Indigenous Health Inequity

November 23rd, 2021

The 2021 Aging & Society Seminar Series, in partnership with the Chanie Wenjack School for Indigenous Studies, featured a talk by Cliff Whetung, a fourth year Ph.D. student at New York University's Silver School of Social Work. In this talk, Cliff discusses and critiques existing research about Indigenous cognitive health and its connection to colonialist perspectives. He then considers tangible steps toward the equitable inclusion of IOAs in cognitive health research, policy, and intervention.
