Insight Series: Signals

Tuesday 23 June, 11am – 12pm, Online (Teams)

Dr Chris Hassall and Prof Aylwyn Walsh explore the concept of 'flickering', and how this can be applied across disciplines. 

Ageing and Loneliness

Wednesday 24 June, 12 – 3pm, University House, University of Leeds Campus

Join Reimagine Ageing for a two-part event on Loneliness and Ageing, with a fantastic lineup of speakers followed by an interactive workshop.

Featuring presentations by academics and industry partners, the event will explore different ways in which loneliness is addressed at the level of intervention design, cultural management and programme delivery with a focus on the way the arts are mobilised as spaces and embodied practices for enhancing sociality and connection in older adults.

The workshop session will be for researchers to explore potential collaborations for bid/grant development in response to funding calls on loneliness and ageing.

A networking lunch will be provided between sessions.
