>older.  For our fifth annual conference we wish to take the 
>opportunity to review our progress and debate and consider our 
>future challenges. In particular, this one day conference seeks to 
>bring together academics and researchers whose work focuses on 
>ageing bodies or wish to widen their interests by exploring the 
>embodied dimensions of their research.  We encourage researchers to 
>share their perspectives on 'ageing, body and society' and welcome 
>abstracts on different theoretical and methodological approaches, 
>emergent ideas, work in progress, practitioner perspectives, and 
>empirical findings.

>We therefore invite abstracts for presentations that will be 15-20 
>minutes in length.
