DESCRIPTION:This workshop occurs on March 26 and April 2\, 2021. \n\nRegist
 er here: https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/creees/aging-workshop\n\nThe history of
  old age is a growing field of inquiry\, yet scholars have mostly examined
  aging in the context of Western capitalist societies. This workshop hopes
  to bring together a number of early career academics and graduate student
 s to discuss their research on old age under socialism. There has been a g
 reat deal of interest\, in recent years\, in how socialist societies imagi
 ned gender\, healthcare\, and the family. This is granting us a much fulle
 r picture of these societies than was possible during the Cold War itself\
 , when analysis focused squarely on themes of political oppression and res
 istance. Some of these societies\, for instance in Eastern and Central Eur
 ope\, were\, demographically\, quite old\, often because many young people
  had been killed in war or had fled to the West. Others\, such as China an
 d Vietnam\, were a demographic transition that entailed lower birth rates 
 and higher life expectancy. And yet we know next to nothing about the soci
 alist style of aging: the imagination of age\, and the policy apparatus. T
 his seems like an especially important research field\, just now\, given t
 hat societies all over the world will be tasked with reimagining old age i
 n the twenty-first century.
