Ageing@LSE is a group of researchers recognised by the LSE that bring together academics from different social science disciplines interested in one of the worlds key challenges, namely population ageing together with inequality and climate change.
The group applies a global perspective to healthy ageing and population ageing, focusing on high-, low- and middle-income countries. We aim to enhance collaboration between academics and early career researchers at LSE, and to coordinate and streamline LSE’s contribution to this area.
We are pleased to invite submissions for a Workshop on Ageing Research at the LSE, organised by the newly created Population and Healthy Ageing Group (PHAG; see more information below). The workshop aims to bring together academics, early carer researchers and PhD students working on ageing at LSE across all disciplines and approaches globally. We take a broad approach to the term ageing, and this workshop will be an opportunity to identify synergies in research and build collaborations.
We are a truly global group in terms of outreach and cover a wide array of areas that includes behavioural aspects of active ageing; formal and informal social care contracts; life course approaches to ageing; societal influences on the individual ageing process; intergenerational benefits of ageing well; intergenerational inequalities and old age poverty; critical perspectives of ageing; financial challenges; and wellbeing effects of retirement, among many others.
