The Trent Centre for Aging & Society hosts yearly special events and activities that celebrate aging, understand diverse experiences of aging, and challenge ageist practices in our communities and culture.
The Stephen Katz Distinguished Visiting Scholar in Interdisciplinary Aging Studies Program
Launched in 2017, this program honours the celebrated career of a critical aging studies visionary and founding member of TCAS, Dr. Stephen Katz. The program has brought world-class critical aging studies scholar to Trent to share their knowledge and research.
Aging & Society Seminar Series
The 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.
Street Law Workshops
Street Law is a global initiative for free public legal education. It is usually delivered to schools and/or community groups by legal professionals or law students. It is meant to empower people by informing them about the law, legal systems and human rights through engaging sessions. TCAS is holding a series of Street Law Workshops to support older and younger adults in intergenerational venues to better understand the law in important areas of life (e.g. estate planning and powers of attorney).
