This webinar will inform graduate students who are enthusiastic and interested in aging policy and research about the opportunities provided by the O’Neill and Hyer 2027 Summer Policy Internship. Aimed at emerging scholars, this professional development opportunity is named in memory of Kathryn Hyer, MPP, PhD, FGSA, FAGHE, and Greg O’Neill, PhD, who were policy scholars and long-time GSA members.

This panel explores “narrative” as a boundary object connecting critical gerontology, social theory, and literary age studies. Panelists examine narrative through (auto)fiction, literary aesthetics, and narrative practice, highlighting how interdisciplinary perspectives illuminate aging, identity, and storytelling. Hosted by the GSA Humanities, Arts, and Cultural Gerontology Advisory Panel.

How we talk about age shapes how we learn, teach, and work. Join us for a Campus Conversation to explore the Age Inclusivity in Higher Education Quick Start Guide and practical communication strategies for creating more age-inclusive campuses.

Jointly facilitated by DGGG and GSA, the webinar will address the fragmented landscape of research on strengths in advanced old age. Currently, there is a lack of systematic, integrated approaches within the behavioral and social sciences of aging to examine these strengths. Indeed, some would argue that there are no strengths to be researched in advanced old age. This webinar questions such a claim. It aims to advance the field conceptually, empirically, and in practice. It builds on a partnership between DGGG and GSA dedicated to fostering the GSA’s “Reframe Aging” initiative internationally.

Fast-evolving artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world and our work. In this Career Conversation, a panel of experienced psychology, gerontology, and computer science researchers discusses how AI shapes their research, work, and life. Hear benefits, challenges, and innovative strategies for incorporating AI at the intersections of gerontology and research.

Three National Institute of Aging (NIA) funded Artificial Intelligence and Technology Centers will provide updates on their latest funded pilot awards and discuss advances in AI and technologies in the areas of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders and healthy aging. Speakers will share successes and challenges. Participants will gain insights into the ever-changing field of AI and technology and the importance of stakeholder engagement.

This webinar will feature perspectives that interweave dynamic threads of conversations around aging and dying, including ethical considerations, clinical processes, healthcare interventions, and cultural significance. The webinar promotes a collaborative approach to understanding ongoing research and experiences in this multidimensional space and strives to incorporate these insights into connecting aging well with dying well. The webinar is sponsored by GSA's Humanities, Arts, and Cultural Gerontology Advisory Panel, End-of-Life and Palliative Care Interest Group, and Religion, Spirituality, and Aging Interest Group.

Join us for this webinar showcasing how members are leaning into their roles as Scientist-Citizens. Discover how these members are committed to proactive public engagement that improves understanding of science and policies that support all of us as we age. Hear directly from Scientist-Citizen members working at the federal, state, and local level to improve the lives of older people and bolster the public’s understanding of the importance of science.

Join SRPP for a dynamic convening that will feature mini-talks from multiple GSA members who are engaged in collaborative action research with nonprofit and public agencies. Breakout rooms will take place after the presentations where attendees can talk more about their research, methods and career development considerations for community-engaged gerontology.

Join us for our third webinar in the Concentric Value of Vaccination webinar series, where we will conduct a deep dive into the societal – as well as the personal - benefits of immunization, emphasizing the connection between vaccines and resilience. Barbara Resnick, PhD, RN, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP (University of Maryland School of Nursing), will discuss the importance of resilience as we age, its relationship to adult vaccines and community immunity, and ways we can implement a resilience framework in our professional and personal lives. The discussion will be moderated by Elana Kieffer Blass, MBA (Gerontological Society of America)
