This event will feature BU faculty from diverse academic disciplines to provide social, cultural, and technological contexts and discuss recent advances in research, policy, and practice regarding aging. By highlighting our faculty’s exciting new research, we hope to better understand and grapple with the diverse challenges unique to an increasingly large and heterogeneous population of older adults.
