Workshop: Lesbians and Ageing in Aotearoa - Wednesday 26 October
Dr Sonja Ellis (University of Waikato) is beginning a research project that focuses on ageing in pride era lesbians (those born approx. 1950-1975) in Aotearoa. As well as capturing some of Aotearoa's lesbian history, the project focuses on the needs and aspirations of pride era lesbians as they move through midlife and into older adulthood. Through an open discussion about ageing as a lesbian, the purpose of this session is to generate ideas that will help to develop the scope of the study. The session is open to women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, or similar and are aged 45+.
