The Lifespan: Perspectives on Ageing & the Life Course from the Medical Humanities, the Health Sciences & Age Studies

Conference of SLSAeu European Society for Literature, Science and the Arts and The Sciences of Ageing and the Culture of Youth

Ageing is too often seen as an inevitable period of decline at the end of life. The UKRI-funded research programme The Sciences of Ageing and the Culture of Youth (SAACY), based at the Centre for the Humanities and Health at King’s College London, looks at how we can overcome this cultural pessimism by understanding ageing as a lifelong process rather than something that happens at the end of our lives. Older age poses challenges and opportunities just like every other phase in life. 

SLSAeu and SAACY join for this three-day conference held at King’s College London to share research at the many intersections of science, literature and the arts. In addition to keynote speeches and interdisciplinary panels, the conference will include receptions at the Science Gallery London and the Great Hall at King’s College London.
