About this Webinar

Aging is one of the most universal human experiences, yet the professional realities of working in aging and gerontology can vary widely across regions of the world. While gerontologists may share a common commitment to improving the lives of older adults, their career paths are often shaped by distinct cultural, societal, institutional, and industry contexts. This Career Conversation will explore these international perspectives by highlighting how careers in aging are experienced and developed across regions worldwide. GSA's Career Conversations bring together gerontologists at all career stages and offer a forum for exchanging ideas on issues and strategies for building a successful career in gerontology. Recordings of previous Career Conversations are available.
