We are a community of researchers committed to broadening traditional approaches to the study of aging; advancing collaborative research that will address the needs and complexities of an aging population, and training future generations of researchers and practitioners to do the same.

To work from a social justice mandate to promote empowered aging.

To collaborate with older people and their communities conducting research that identifies existing challenges and facilitates opportunities. To that end our research focuses on four inter-related areas of interest:

• Culture, creativity and aging
• Community, care and connectivity
• Health, wellbeing and the lifecourse
• Politics, policy and the economics of aging

To change how society thinks about aging so that all can live their best lives possible.
