The New Old Age: Rethinking Our Long Lifespans: an Afternoon with Paula Span

Sarah Lawrence College Heimbold Visual Arts Center Donnelley Film Theatre Thursday, April 14th 3:00pm - 5:00pm

A talk and reception in honor of Lois Steinberg for her commitment to enriching the lives of the elderly and for her leadership in ensuring access to the critical resources necessary for healthy living.

Paula Span, who writes The New Old Age column for The New York Times, will explore the extraordinary social, cultural, and individual changes and challenges wrought by our lengthening lifespans. From finding purpose as we age, to developing new responses, to rethinking the way our lives end, we are once again faced with a generational shift that will call on our collective wisdom, creativity, and courage.
