Conference Series on Aging in the Americas: United States and Mexico

 描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的第二次竞争性续签申请延长了关于美洲老龄化(CAA)的成功系列会议。CAA以前的几期都有一个不同的重点，每一期都会产生同行评议的书籍和发表在CAA网站http://lbjschool.austin.utexas.edu/caa/.上的特别期刊接下来的三期会议将在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校(2016)、南加州大学(2017)和亚利桑那大学图森分校(2018)会议的基础上进行，以解决作为国家卫生议程优先事项的新主题。这将通过委托36篇论文来实现，其中包括来自社会学、心理学、人口学、社会政策、医学、老年学和经济学的六位主旨演讲者，以解决两个主要目标：第一，提供一个工具来回顾和分析当代关于“Place”的社会研究，其主要维度是物理、文化和经济，因为它与支持年迈的拉丁裔人的健康有关，第二，通过增加新兴学者对这一知识体系的接触，发展他们的个人研究和职业指导，进一步促进他们的发展。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed second competing renewal application extends a successful conference series on Aging in the Americas (CAA). Previous CAA installments have had a distinctive focus and each resulted in peer-reviewed books and special journal issues as published on the CAA website http://lbjschool.austin.utexas.edu/caa/. The next three installments at The University of Texas at Austin (2016), University of Southern California (2017), and University of Arizona, Tucson (2018) build upon the same very high quality of work at previous meetings to address a new theme that is a priority for the national health agenda. This will be accomplished by commissioning 36 papers, including six keynote speakers from sociology, psychology, demography, social policy, medicine, gerontology, and economics to address two major goals: First, to provide a vehicle for reviewing and analyzing the contemporary social research on "place," the major dimensions of which are physical, cultural and economic, as it relates to supporting the health of aging Latinos, and second, to further the development of emerging scholars through their increased exposure to this body of knowledge, developing their individual research, and career mentoring.
