How old are you? How do you feel about getting older?

And how will you still be able to carry out your responsibilities as you age?

Most people had reservations asking these questions of anyone but their closest friends and family members until the recent Presidential election season in the United States threw them into sharp relief. So the organizers of this year’s online joint conference invite anyone who’s ever thought about the relations between adapting and aging as parallel processes, opposing forces, conjoined twins, or strange bedfellows to share their experiences with audiences from around the world.

The conference aims to foster more global conversations among adaptation scholars, promote closer interaction between the Literature/Film Association and the Association of Adaptation Studies, and invite participation from active members of either organization who would not normally consider traveling far away for an in-person conference.

There is no charge to attend the conference, whose language will be English.

All presenters are current members of the LFA, the AAS, or both of them.
