CALL FOR PAPERS - "Aging and the Indigenous People of North America"

The Seventh Annual Conference of the Association for Anthropology and
Gerontology will be held at the University of Oklahoma-Norman from
June 5 - 7, 2009. This year's theme broadly focuses on "Aging and the
Indigenous People of North America." Any topic is welcome; examples
include aging and health issues, the revitalization of culture and
language, and overviews of the field as a whole. The conference is an
interdisciplinary small-scale meeting emphasizing the close critique
of works-in-progress. It includes a workshop focused on the future of
gerontological work with the indigenous people of North America. It
also features an optional mentoring component for students and junior
researchers, who are paired with senior researchers who offer
technical assistance concerning research proposals or manuscripts.
Papers from the conference will be considered for publication either
individually or as a special issue of the Journal of Cross-Cultural
Gerontology. Presenters are invited to submit a one-page abstract by
February 15, 2008 to Dr. Lori L. Jervis, University of Oklahoma,
