On 18 September 2019, CEHA jointly hosted the one-day workshop “How to make impact and influence people: Taking the anthropology of ageing beyond the academy”, the inaugural event of the European Association of Social Anthropologists’ Age and Generations Network (AGENET). Twenty-five people attended from six different countries, and the Keynote speakers were Janelle Taylor, Professor of Anthropology at The University of Toronto, and Daniel López Gómez, Associate Professor of Psychology and Education and researcher with the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) at Estudios de Psicologia y Ciencias de la Educacion (UOC – Spain). The workshop provided attendees with an opportunity to discuss the knowledge and skills necessary to better engage non-academic stakeholders as partners in their research, teaching, and collaborations related to ageing and the life course. The workshop was organised by Amy Clotworthy and Nete Schwennesen from CEHA together with Matthew Lariviere from the University of Sheffield.
