Creativity and Aging Conference

Creativity may once have been stereotyped as a realm for artists and young children, but no more. Today creativity is the focus of significant disciplinary and interdisciplinary research, attracting the energy and imagination of scholars across a wide range of academic fields. What is increasingly recognized is the vibrant character of creativity across the entire lifespan, including the later decades of life. Co-sponsored by Duke Continuing Studies and Summer Session and the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, the Creativity and Aging Conference will explore the relationship between creativity and healthy aging. Led by experts in science and technology, the social sciences, the arts and humanities, and medicine and health care, sessions will blend scholarly research and innovative practices to investigate a variety of dimensions associated with healthy, dynamic aging.Value to You* Explore innovative research and the latest trends in health and aging.* Take away knowledge you can apply to your job or personal life. * Connect with top-notch experts in medicine, social sciences, the arts and other fields.* Earn your certificate of completion with 7.5 contact hours that you can use toward continuing education.Location: Hilton Durham, 3800 Hillsborough Road Durham, NC 27705-2328
