About the Conference
The Diversity and Aging in the 21st Century Conference is designed to address the challenges faced by diverse populations as they age. It will purposefully bring together the field of diversity and the field of aging to examine their impact on our society. While we strive to recognize and accept our individual differences -- race and ethnicity, sexual orientation/identity, gender, current physical and mental abilities, socio-economic status or in the way we choose to express our spirituality - we also understand that there is power in inclusion. This conference will set the tone for continued dialogue and examination of the pressing issues challenging an aging and diverse society.
