The panel aims at gathering contributions inquiring the intersection of ageing and migration and its implications in today’s Europe and beyond. Its themes include ageing within diasporas; intergenerational support within and across borders; gendered, racialized and sexualized experiences of ageing.
Convenors: Jolanda Lindenberg (Leyden Academy on Vitality and Ageing) and Erica van der Sijpt (University of Amsterdam), Discussant: Tanja Ahlin (University of Amsterdam)
In this panel we discuss how to come to a comparative anthropology of care by thought-provoking presentations on comparative methods, epistemological and/or theoretical frameworks that start from locally embedded practices of care.
Convenors: Cristina Douglas (University of Aberdeen) and Maria Vesperi (New College of Florida), Discussant: Barbara Pieta (Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology)
The challenge of research with cognitively impaired people is complicated by the poor fit between ethics boards and discipline-specific protocols. We invite scholars to explore new ways to conduct ethically and morally responsible ethnographic fieldwork involving cognitive impairment.
Convenors: Barbara Pieta (Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology), Jay Sokolovsky (University of South Florida St. Petersburg), Shireen Walton (Goldsmiths, University of London), Annette Leibing (University of Montreal), Discussants: Daniel Miller (University College London (UCL)) and Maria Vesperi (New College of Florida)
The panel explores an emerging trend in the Anthropology of the Life Course to use visual and digital methods to generate and disseminate anthropological knowledge. Presentations examine how visual/digital engagement changes the experience of ageing, and the act and product of ethnographic fieldwork
