Uncovering the meanings attached to, the knowledge produced of, and the processes inherent to gendered aging bodies in the past and in contemporary Western societies requires an interdisciplinary approach. We thus invite proposals for papers from a variety of disciplines, including but not restricted to history and history of science and medicine, sociology, anthropology, medical ethics and philosophy that are willing to use cross-disciplinary angles and to focus on one of the following three critical and interrelated aspects: knowledge production, practices and processes. Papers are welcomed that apply a longitudinal view over epochs and periods, as well as researching at the microlevel. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal or conference edition. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Monday 7th of January 2008. When submitting, please add your name, affiliation and postal/email address. Papers should be submitted to:
