Conversation series
Concordia University and the Globe and Mail present a national conversation series on Aging Well
Staying healthy and aging well are key concerns for Canadians. They’re also a focus for many researchers at Concordia University.
The Concordia University/Globe and Mail national conversation series on aging well features four discussions, held in front of live audiences. Each features one of the university’s researchers in a stimulating and lively exchange with a public figure about living well for healthy aging. With topics ranging from sexuality to obesity, workplace burnout to lifelong exercise, the moderated series is an opportunity to hear thought-provoking dialogue about important subjects.
