Earlier this year, Emerita Professor Lalage Bown, who was formerly Head of the Department of Adult and Continuing Education, celebrated her 90th birthday. In her honour we have arranged this seminar to reflect on some of what was, what is and what will be in the field of adult education. We will be joined by a number of speakers who have worked with Lalage in the past and many of her former colleagues, all of whom we hope will make contributions in open discussion.

Read more... about Ageism in intergenerational learning activities – is it possible?

The COST network funded by the European Commission on Ageism -  a multi-national, interdisciplinary perspective (IS1402), provides opportunities for short scientific missions and in February 2018  one of these brought me Glasgow hosted by CR&DALL in the School of Education at the University of Glasgow. Days in the UoG Library gave to me some answers to the question: Can we talk about ageism in intergenerational practice and learning endeavours? In addition to that many contacts with Glasgow local practitioners directed me to the new research ideas and questions.
