Lunch & Learn: Sexual and gender diversity - Results from the German government's Ninth Ageing Report | Prof Ralf Lottmann

Type of event: Talks / lectures
Venue: Webex
Organiser: Central Department Diversity, Career Centre for Professorial Development

'“Age has many faces”' is what gerontology tells us about ageing. What does it mean to age in an increasingly diverse world? What do we (still) have in common? How do we want to ensure a dignified care in old age as a society? Do minorities such as lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans* and intersex people age differently?

Speaker

Ralf Lottmann is a sociologist of ageing and Professor of Health Policy at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences. After working as a research assistant in the German Bundestag, he completed his doctorate at the Technical University Dresden. Since 2013, he has been researching age(ing) and diversity as well as welfare state provision. He was a member of the German government's Ninth Ageing Report Commission.

Lunch & Learn

... means lunch and still picking up new ideas - the new online format, initiated by the Career Centre for Professorial Development (KpE), offers exciting input on various university-related topics. In cooperation with Ray Trautwein, Diversity Manager at TH Wildau, Lunch & Learn begins with a series of contributions focusing on the topic of diversity in organisations.
