Future Directions for the Demography of Aging: Proceedings of a Workshop The National Academy of Sciences was established in 1863 by an Act of Congress, signed by President Lincoln, as a private, nongovernmental institu- tion to advise the nation on issues related to science and technology. Members are elected by their peers for outstanding contributions to research. Dr. Marcia McNutt is president. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964 under the char- ter of the National Academy of Sciences to bring the practices of engineering to advising the nation. Members are elected by their peers for extraordinary contributions to engineering. Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., is president. The National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) was established in 1970 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to advise the nation on medical and health issues. Members are elected by their peers for distinguished contributions to medicine and health. Dr. Victor J. Dzau is president. The three Academies work together as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to provide independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conduct other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. The National Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.

Future Directions for the Demography of Aging: Proceedings of a Workshop Preface Almost 25 years have passed since the Demography of Aging (1994) was published by the National Research Council. The volume was a major contribution that defined the contours of an emerging field. Nine major themes in the demography of aging were assessed by experts in the field. The themes were 1. Formal demography of population aging, transfers, and the eco- nomic cycle 2. Retirement and labor force behavior of the elderly 3. Income, wealth, and intergenerational economic relations of the aged 4. The elderly and their kin: patterns of availability and access 5. Care of the elderly: division of labor among the family, market, and state 6. Medical demography: interaction of disability dynamics and mortality 7. Socioeconomic differences in adult mortality and health status 8. Geographic concentration, migration, and population redistribu- tion among the elderly 9. Research on the demography of aging in developing countries. The original volume stimulated the interest of a new generation of population scientists. It provided the scientific foundations for new research collaborations and interdisciplinary approaches, the development of inno- vative data resources, and the forging of institutional partnerships—all of which contributed to rapid advancements in scientific knowledge and the scaling up of scientific questions. vii Copyright National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved. Future Directions for the Demography of Aging: Proceedings of a Workshop viii PREFACE The current volume is, in many ways, the successor to the original volume. The Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engi- neering, and Medicine, through its Committee on Population, to produce an authoritative guide to new directions in demography of aging. The Steering Committee for a Workshop on the Future Directions for the Demography of Aging was appointed by the National Academies to carry out this project. The papers published in this volume were originally presented and discussed at a public workshop held in Washington, D.C., August 17–18, 2017. The workshop discussion made evident that major new advances had been made in the last two decades, but also that new trends

  • 2017 Focus on Faculty Publication
    FOCUS ON FACULTY 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM PRESIDENT It is my great pleasure to recognize and celebrate the scholarship, teaching, service and overall excellence of our faculty at Bellarmine University. I am profoundly grateful for our faculty’s devotion to classroom instruction that challenges students, and for their support in helping our students to meet those challenges. This volume, however, demonstrates the considerable time, imagination and energy that our faculty give to pursuits beyond the class- room—researching, publishing, creating works of art, leading study-abroad courses and service-learning trips, and providing expertise in the community. These and other accomplishments have allowed Bellarmine University to become a private institution of significant stature—the premier Catholic uni- versity in the South and the leading private institution in the Commonwealth and region. We are proud to showcase our faculty in this publication, which is organized around these goals of Bellarmine’s Strategic Plan: • Celebrate our Catholic identity in the inclusive Merton spirit as the founda- tion of our commitment to student fulfillment, global consciousness and environmental sustainability; • Establish and sustain a climate of excellence throughout the university; • Integrate an international focus and sensibility into all curricular and co-curricular programs; and • Enhance our reputation, expand our market and dramatically grow our enrollment. Achievements listed here represent work that was completed from the fall of 2015 through the end of calendar 2016. They vividly illustrate how Bellar- mine’s excellent faculty bring our mission to life—by educating talented, diverse students of many faiths, ages, nations, and cultures, and also through their scholarship and service.

Progress was also made in developing NEIU‘s General Education Program into a University Core Curriculum, which includes more opportunities for engaged learning experiences. As you will find in this year‘s report, CAS programs have hosted career fairs, alumni events, student awards ceremonies, café societies, brown bag seminars and speaker series; and they have established scholarships for students.

  • A Qualitative Review of Elder Perspectives on Healthy Aging in the Circumpolar North
    Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology https://doi.org/10.1007/s10823-020-09399-4 ORIGINAL AR TICLE “With Age Comes Wisdom:” a Qualitative Review of Elder Perspectives on Healthy Aging in the Circumpolar North Britteny M. Howell1,2 & Jennifer R. Peterson2,3 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Cross-cultural research has shown marked variation in health outcomes across the world’s older adult populations. Indeed, older adults in the Circumpolar North experience a variety of health disparities. Because aging is a biological process rooted in sociocultural context, there exists great variation in the ways older adults define and experience healthy, or “successful,” aging in their communities. The aim of this analysis was to synthesize qualitative research among older residents (aged 50+ years) in the Circumpolar North to identify a definition of healthy aging common in the region. A thorough review was conducted across a variety of academic search databases for peer-reviewed, qualitative studies conducted among community- dwelling older adults. The search strategy initially identified 194 articles; 23 articles met the inclusion criteria. Included studies were coded and analyzed using Grounded Theory to examine underlying themes of healthy aging in the Circumpolar North. The findings reveal the importance older adults place on respect, their relationship to the land, and psychosocial resilience into multidimensional models of healthy aging. This research also highlights the need for increased translational
