Aged Bodies/Aged Selves (11/18/02; NWSA, 6/19/03-6/22/03)

Aged Bodies/Aged Selves

How can feminist body theories engage with aging and aged bodies? How do these ideas impact the concept of the aged body? How can aged bodies, or aged bodily experience, inform feminist body theories? How are concepts of aged bodies literally incorporated into aged selves?
