We are requesting nominations from 糖心vlog官方入口 students to fill those slots within the next couple weeks.

What is AGE-WELL?

AGE-WELL is Canada's technology and aging network. We have mobilized a vast community of researchers, partner organizations, older adults, caregivers, and future leaders to accelerate the delivery of technology-based solutions that make a meaningful difference in the lives of Canadians.

糖心vlog官方入口 students do not have to be a member of AGE-WELL to apply 鈥 this is an opportunity of a lifetime an experience you will value the rest of your life.  The students from other parts of Canada have already been selected and will be from different disciplines. There will be 3 groups of students each group will be working on a different challenge and each of the 糖心vlog官方入口 students will be assigned to one of the groups.

It is roughly a 9-5 commitment each day (some evening teamwork is usually necessary). Lunch and snacks will be provided to 糖心vlog官方入口 attendees (but not accommodations or breakfast).

Please email Olive at obryanton@upei.ca if you are interested in attending and she will pass your name on to the AGE-WELL organizers.

All are welcome.

During this gathering, we will discuss Sara Ahmed鈥檚 The Cultural Politics of Emotion.

The following is an overview of the book:

鈥淓motions work to define who we are as well as shape what we do and this is no more powerfully at play than in the world of politics. Ahmed considers how emotions keep us invested in relationships of power, and also shows how this use of emotion could be crucial to areas such as feminist and queer politics.

Debates on international terrorism, asylum and migration, as well as reconciliation and reparation, are explored through topical case studies. In this book the difficult issues are confronted head on.

The Cultural Politics of Emotion is in dialogue with recent literature on emotions within gender studies, cultural studies, sociology, psychology and philosophy. Throughout the book, Ahmed develops a theory of how emotions work, and the effects they have on our day-to-day lives.鈥

If you would like to attend, please reach out to Dr. Max Schaefer at mschaefer@upei.ca for more information.
