COMMUNITY-BUILDING &

EVENTS

Aging Activisms is an intergenerational collective: a growing network of people and groups who share an interest in understanding and supporting the activisms undertaken by people of different ages, abilities, and backgrounds, across a variety of movements. This collective strives to meet up and collaborate as frequently as possible, both virtually and face-to-face, and looks forward to these magical and transformative moments of cross-generation, cross-movement connection.

FEATURED EVENTS

Aging Activisms 2015

October 2015

 

Aging Activisms 2015 was the inaugural symposium of the Aging Activisms community. For two days in October 2015, we gathered as a group of academics, students, and activists – four generations of women – to discuss why and how we work for social change across our lifecourses. 

 

 

April 29th - May 2nd, 2016

Montreal, QC

 

The Aging Activisms Media Capsules Workshop has its genesis at the Aging Activisms Symposium held at Trent in October of 2015. Responding to a call from participants to continue the conversations and build our relationships, May Chazan (Trent) partnered with Kim Sawchuk (Concordia), and a number of their talented grad students and associates, to dream up this interactive workshop. This event reconvened the Aging Activisms community, this time in Montreal, and provided a way for us to begin sharing our stories more widely.
