Welcome Messages

Welcome from the

BSG President

Colleagues,

On behalf of the British Society of Gerontology, I am pleased to extend a very warm welcome to this year's 50th Anniversary Conference. Thank you for joining us and helping us to mark such a special occasion in the Society's history.

Of course, when planning such a landmark

conference, we had envisioned a rather different event. The Society's annual conferences are

ŠūƥċŕĚŠūƥūŠŕNjIJūƑƥĺĚĚNJČĚŕŕĚŠƥƙČĿĚŠƥĿǛČ

programme, but also for the countless opportunities to engage in friendly and supportive dialogue, cementing existing relationships and making new connections. While the Covid-19 pandemic has meant that we are unable to celebrate the Society's golden anniversary in person, we still have an outstanding programme ahead of us that, as the conference theme indicates, does justice to the past, present and future of British gerontology. We also have a social programme that provides a range of opportunities for delegates to interact informally with one another and to have some fun. I am indebted on behalf of the Society to the local organising team at Lancaster University for all they have done to ensure that our 50th Anniversary Conference will

be an event to remember.Wherever those of us participating in the conference work, whatever we do, and whatever our life or career stage, we have all been deeply affected by the multi-faceted and highly unequal impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on our personal and professional lives. For delegates based in the UK, there are also continuing uncertainties arising from the UK's withdrawal from the EU to contend with. These challenges will continue to have an impact for years to come. The changing context also emphasises the need for the multiple perspectives and approaches that have become a hallmark of the British Society of Gerontology. Our shared commitment to improving understanding of demographic ageing and the changing nature of later life also directs us towards potential responses to both opportunities and challenges associated with increasing longevity. In this endeavour, we especially value insights from countries and cultures beyond the UK.

As we embark on the next 50 years of our Society's history, I harbour the hope that our annual conferences will continue to be the place where we can share our ideas, engage in debate and learn from one another. Above all, I hope that you will leave the conference suitably motivated and inspired to continue your work in research, policy, practice and advocacy on ageing.

I wish you all an excellent conference,

ƑūIJĚƙƙūƑ ĺūŞƙČĺƑIJ

Chancellor, Lancaster University

I am delighted to be welcoming the British Society of Gerontology to Lancaster University for its 50th

Anniversary Annual Conference. As with so many

other events that have taken place during the pandemic, this landmark conference is happening

DŽĿƑƥƭŕŕNjȦĚDŽĚƑƥĺĚŕĚƙƙȡŞČūŠǛēĚŠƥƥĺƥĿŠ

coming together as a community, you will still be able to enjoy a full and engaging event worthy of such a milestone. Lancaster University has made the study of ageing, particularly with regard to health and wellbeing, a real priority, with our

Centre for Ageing Research comprising over 100

members and almost 50 associated PhD students, representing all four of our Faculties across the university. At Lancaster, we are ambitious in our learning, expertise and action, with a mission to create positive change in the world. We continue to build capacity in research and education, and we place emphasis on embracing innovative ideas and working with local organisations and people to create positive change for people in our region. This 50th Anniversary programme looks full, broad and exciting and I wish you a fantastic conference that celebrates the journey to the present and our journey from here onwards.

Chair

I am delighted and honoured to be welcoming

you to the 50th Anniversary Conference of the British Society of Gerontology in 2021. This is a

ƙĿijŠĿǛČŠƥČūŠIJĚƑĚŠČĚIJūƑŕūƥūIJƑĚƙūŠƙȡŞūƙƥ

of all, the 50th Anniversary of the society. As a relative newcomer, I have come to appreciate all that has gone before in the evolution of the society as I have talked to members who have observed, and often led, the changes and developments, and particularly as I have seen some of the publications recording this history. Our conference theme examines and values the enduring themes and the achievements but also the enthusiasm to move forward in the study of ageing, hence our title: Ageing Past, Present and Future: Innovation and Change. We are excited that we have been able to offer 50@50 bursaries as part of our

50th Anniversary celebrations, and we will also

be welcoming attendees from a wide range of countries, disciplines and sectors, in the Society's ǛƑƙƥIJƭŕŕūŠŕĿŠĚČūŠIJĚƑĚŠČĚȦ While you will not get to visit Lancaster for the conference this time, we hope to introduce you to a few features of our city and university with a rich history, a vibrant present and an entrepreneurial eye to the future. Lancaster's distinctive skyline features the Castle, dating back almost 1000 years, and still owned by Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Lancaster, which you'll see on all our publicity.

Alison Findlay presenting on “The Demonisation of Older Women". Lancaster is situated along the

North West Coast of England, neighbouring the

outstanding beauty of the Lake District. These areas have distinct challenges for later life, with issues of health inequalities and rural isolation, but

Medicine, and the organisational hub of the cross- university Centre for Ageing Research (C4AR) into our new Health Innovation Campus, a co-location of researchers with non-academic organisations such as business and social enterprises. These developments are important as we seek to ensure impact of our research in a range of arenas, but none so important as working directly with the

ĚDŽĚŠƥƭŕċĚŠĚǛČĿƑĿĚƙūIJūƭƑƑĚƙĚƑČĺŠēŕĚƑŠĿŠij

from them, and so our third plenary will be from Sandra Hirst. Sandra will share her passion for the stories of older adults and the learning acquired from listening to them in her presentation on the importance of narrational relationships. We will also feature interactive sessions from our linked

Continuing Learners Group, and a co-researcher

group in our lunchtime events programme. When we decided on the title, we had no idea just quite how much change the year or so between then and the conference date would bring, and our ƎƑūijƑŞŞĚƑĚǜĚČƥƙƥĺĿƙDžĿƥĺŕƑijĚŠƭŞċĚƑūIJƎƑĚƙĚŠƥƥĿūŠƙƙƎĚČĿǛČŕŕNjĚNJŞĿŠĿŠijƥĺĚĿŞƎČƥƙand the adaptations related to COVID-19 as it has affected older people, carers and organisations involved with older people. The conference will ijĿDŽĚƭƙƥĿŞĚƥūƑĚǜĚČƥūŠDžĺƥĺƙČĺŠijĚēĿŠgerontological research in relation to the pandemic as well as the last 50 years, on the impacts and achievements and the difference we have made. I hope during the conference we will all learn from ĚČĺūƥĺĚƑĿŠƥĺĚƎƑĚƙĚŠƥȡċƭƥŕƙūƑĚǜĚČƥūŠĺūDžwe may make new and innovative strides going forward, and we are grateful to our Flagship symposium speakers who will open this debate on the past, enduring nature and future of two key topics, Inequalities (Alan Walker and James Nazroo) and Environments for Ageing (Sheila Peace and Melissa Fernandez Arriogota).

Of course, the main innovation this year is that we are attempting a full conference programme online.

This has meant a huge amount of commitment

from the Lancaster team in terms of ensuring Lancaster University Microsoft teams hosts for all the sessions and I am hugely grateful to all the staff and students from C4AR who have stepped forward to help. I hope you'll be able to support us by adding the hashtag #BSG2021 into anything you tweet about the conference and your part in it.

We hope you will be able to enjoy this event in

full, as you would an in-person conference and we welcome you to the BSG 50th Anniversary. ƑūIJĚƙƙūƑƑūŕūŕŕŠē
