My paper 'The taking place of older age' is out in @culturalsage. It is concerned with how the category of older age (oft. experienced as an ever-receding horizon) is made through representations, and the different ways people encounter and relate to it. doi.org/10.1177/147447402110…

This morning #geographer @Jamie_Woodward_ (@GeographyUOM) was on @BBCBreakfast talking about sewage dumping and the urgent action that needs to be taken to improve the state of UK rivers.
#Geographerinthenews
.@Jamie_Woodward_: "We need to take away the incentive of polluting our rivers.. its still an incredibly profitable activity dumping untreated sewage in rivers"
The solution is to nationalise the water industry and start running it for our benefit, not shareholders

🏙 Many cities aim to be more #agefriendly, but do they account for the diversity of 'older people'?
🔧 Dr @AmyCBarron has designed a toolkit for policymakers to help engage with diverse communities
💡 And create tailored, not 'catch-all', interventions
