We seek to highlight the economic, social, and political aspects while also inviting contributions that address future scenarios.
The 2024 Annual Conference of the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies will investigate ageing today and the historical dimensions of this process from multiple perspectives. We seek to highlight the economic, social, and political aspects while also inviting contributions that address future scenarios.
The conference aims at cross-disciplinary dialogue. We therefore invite proposals from different social sciences, including history, economics, social anthropology, political science, public health, and sociology, that address the central questions of the conference. While we want to focus on East and Southeast Europe, we also encourage comparative and transregional perspectives.
We also want to explore the impact of the international level on the region. We invite contributions applying qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches.
Paper proposals should address any of the follow themes:
- Public perceptions of and discourses about ageing, including the production of expert knowledge
- Economic consequences of ageing at the micro- and macrolevel
- Policy responses and political attitudes
- Social consequences of ageing, including relations between generations
- Old people as agents of change
- Care practices and institutional responses, including questions of the built environment
