Research approaches, policy priorities, and advocacy lenses on aging and aging societies have dramatically changed over the past half a century — with progress in many areas and gaps in others. For example, the discourse in advocacy <em>for </em>older people has shifted to partnerships <em>with </em>older people, with meaningful implications that highlight "Research not about us but with us". Further, the rhetoric and imagery of aging has largely shifted from portrayals of frailty to inclusivity and equity. Tools like social media have allowed the voices of older people to be more present at various tables, allowing inter-generational interactions to become more prevalent.</p> <p>Our Keynote Lecturer this year is Dr. Anne Martin-Matthews, Professor of Sociology at the University of British Columbia with a distinguished career researching aging, health, and gerontology across the decades. She will address the past, present, and the future: discussing changes in concepts and methods surrounding aging and also what has not changed and the challenges that still remain in addressing the needs of aging societies. Just in Canada, for the first time in history, adults 65 years and over outnumber children 14 years and under, prompting the need for social innovation at every level and sector of society. Hence, the topic of this session is not only timely but vital to build a sustainable future for all generations.</p> <div class="accordion"> <h3><a href="/cand3/">More about Dr. Anne Martin-Matthews</a></h3> <div> <h4><img alt="Speaker Dr. Anne Martin-Matthews" file-original="" src="/cand3/files/cand3/annemartinmatthews-framed.png" style="height:199px; width:200px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; float:left" />Anne Martin-Matthews</h4> <p><strong>Professor</strong>, Department of Sociology, University of British Columbia</p> <p><strong>Associate Vice-President</strong>, UBC Health, University of British Columbia</p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-martin-matthews-a736205b/" target="_blank"><img alt="LinkedIn icon hyperlinked to Anne Martin-Matthews' profile" data-fid="50" src="/cand3/files/cand3/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/linkedin_icon.png?itok=CfyazsgC" style="height:22px; width:22px" /></a><a href="https://sociology.ubc.ca/profile/anne-martin-matthews/" target="_blank"><img alt="Website icon hyperlinked to Anne Martin-Matthews' ResearchGate account" data-fid="51" src="/cand3/files/cand3/website_icon.png" style="height:22px; width:22px" /></a></p> <p>Anne Martin-Matthews has a primary research focus on aging, health, and social gerontology.
