4th ENAS and NANAS Conference

Held at the Universitat de Lleida, Catalonia, Spain, “Ageing, Old Age, and Intergenerational Relationships through Narrative and Practice: Challenging Ageism” is the fourth joint conference organized by the European Network of Aging Studies (ENAS) and the North American Network of Aging Studies (NANAS) and the sixth ENAS Conference. 

It invites researchers, writers, and scholars within age and ageing studies to share their research and establish a fruitful dialogue around “ageism and intergenerational relationships” as well as other related topics. Intergenerational exchanges may contribute to deconstructing negative cultural narratives of ageing by creating more inclusive meanings of old age, and advancing social change through the promotion of a better understanding of the life course and, thus, providing opportunities for mutual support and care. 

Moreover, promoting generational dialogue and cooperation may be the first steps to build a sustainable society in which interdependence among generations is a source of richness rather than a form of exclusion.

Organized over 3 days, from 9 to 11 April 2025, the members of research Group Dedal-Lit-CELCA welcome you to explore our historical campus, enjoy the vibrancy of our city, and establish lasting connections with colleagues within the age and ageing studies field.

The Conference will be located in the Rectorat Campus, Pl. Víctor Siurana, Universitat de Lleida.
