Aging & Social Change: Sixteenth Interdisciplinary Conference, Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey, 15-16 October 2026

Aging & Social Change: Sixteenth Interdisciplinary Conferenceis a forum for discussion of challenges and opportunities for a rapidly growing segment of the population worldwide. The process of aging is a concern for individuals, families, communities, and nations. The social context of aging provides a rich background for community dialogue on this, one of the critical questions of our time. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.
Aging & Social Change: Sixteenth Interdisciplinary Conferencefeatures research addressing the following annual themes.
Aging & Social Change: Sixteenth Interdisciplinary Conferencewill feature plenary sessions by some of the world's leading thinkers and innovators in the field.
