On behalf of Onno van Nijf and the organizers of the conference, we are
happy to send you the following announcement of a 'Histories of Healthy
Ageing' conference to be held in Groningen:
--------------------
HISTORIES OF HEALTHY AGEING
CONFERENCE GRONINGEN 21-23 June 2017
REGISTER NOW - EXTENDED DEADLINE EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION- REDUCED
REGISTRATION FEE FOR (PHD) STUDENTS
As Western populations grow increasingly older, 'healthy ageing' is
presented as one of today's greatest medical and societal challenges.
However, contrary to what many policy makers want us to believe, the
aspiration to live long, healthy and happy lives is not a problem specific
to our times. On the contrary successful ageing has a long history. The
conference Histories of Healthy Ageing questions concepts and (medical)
practices related to health, happiness and longevity.
*During the conference the exhibition ‘Gelukkig Gezond! Histories of
Healthy Ageing’ - on the history of the six Hippocratic non-naturals -
officially opens at the Groningen University Museum. *
