To explore and discuss this theme, the conference has partnered with Working Films to look at how different forms of media can be used to educate and talk about aging in society. As part of this discussion, excerpts from two films from Working Films's Series: Reel Aging will be shown. These films are Prison Terminal directed by Edgar Barens and The Graying of Aids directed by Katja Heinemann and Naomi Schegloff. Additionally, a panel discussion on the morning of the second day of the conference will serve as a forum to examine how media is and can be used to educate about aging and health. Presentations are also invited that address the conference theme.We look forward to receiving your proposal and meeting you in Chicago, USA for this exciting, interdisciplinary event.
