Where do We Age: Your Place or Mine?

Key Note Speaker: Graham D. Rowles PhD

Graham D. Rowles is a social geographer with an interest in the humanistic tradition who for the past 30 years has focused his research on the geography of aging and the aged.  His research, in the field of environmental gerontology, focuses on the lived experience of aging in different contexts.  A central theme of his work is exploration, employing qualitative methodologies, of the changing relationship between elders and their environments with advancing age and the implications of these relationships for health and well being. His focus is finding the meaning of “place” and how to create that lived experience of a home.
