Welcome to La Trobe University's Clever Conversations. In this episode from our Bold Thinking series, we search for the source of the mythical fountain of youth. Medical and technological advances mean more of us are living fulfilling lives to 100 years of age and beyond. But in a world obsessed with celebrity and youth, how do we challenge perceptions of getting old and champion positive ageing? How do we age without getting old? Our panel discussion, hosted by La Trobe’s Albury-Wodonga campus, explores what it means to grow old in rural and regional Australia. It features: - Renata Singer, an internationally acclaimed author of ‘Older and Bolder: Life beyond 60’. - Professor Irene Blackberry, Director of John Richards Centre for Rural Ageing Research at La Trobe University. - Dr Rachel Winterton, also from the centre and an international expert on rural ageing and volunteering. The conversation is hosted by Bold Thinking Series MC Francis Leach.

Rachel has long been interested in what it means to grow older, and particularly what it means to grow older in regional and rural Australia. Rachel has studied the role of place, the importance of community and the need for belonging in facilitating healthy ageing and the good news is that she thinks there are plenty of positive aspects to ageing. Listen as Rachel shares her thoughts on what individuals, communities and governments can do to help us all enjoy a happier, healthier older age.

The population of Asia is ageing rapidly. People are living longer than in the past, and coping with this problem requires thoughtful social security and balancing the interests of different generations. Although nations in the region each have unique characteristics, there are overall trends associated with population ageing, which raise implications that extend across most nations in Asia. Speaker: Professor Thomas Klassen (School of Public Policy and Administration at York University, Canada). Recorded at La Trobe University (City Campus) on 21st March 2018, in an event co-hosted by the John Richards Centre for Rural Ageing Research.
