    Details

    We are delighted to announce the first list of selected abstracts for the Fourth Annual Conference on Ageing to be held on December 4 and 5 at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.

    This year’s theme, “Reimagining Gender, Ageing and Care: Perspectives from the Global South”, has drawn an inspiring range of submissions from scholars, researchers, and practitioners across diverse contexts. The abstracts selected reflect critical engagements with ageing, care economies, care labour, kinship, migration, caste, health, and the intersections of gender and ageing in the Global South.

    We congratulate the authors whose abstracts have been accepted in this round and look forward to their valuable contributions at the conference. Further communication regarding the registration, program schedule and presentation guidelines will follow soon.
