Mireia Fernández-Ardèveol, who is visiting the Université de Montréal from the Open University of Catalonia, is giving a public lecture on September 13, 2019.

This keynote presentation reviews empirical evidence on the intersection of older age and mobile communication from a non-patronizing perspective. It examines the ways heterogeneous groups of older individuals appropriate mobile devices, the meanings of these uses, and the paramount role of the mobile phone.

By acknowledging the heterogeneity often hidden in under the label “old age,” this presentation identifies the challenges faced in research to achieving a richer and more complex analysis of a networked society at different stages of later life. There is a need for critical analytical frameworks able to move beyond rooted and invisible ageist prejudices which will help achieve more nuanced and precise understandings of the place of mobile communication in later life.

“This edited collection critically examines the relentless march towards a technological future from multiple perspectives. Authors who have committed to this project are from the disciplines of sociology, philosophy, communications, surveillance, medicine and religion. Their diverse backgrounds bring intersectional perspectives to the journey of aging in this technological age. We ask: what is/will be the impacts of technology be on older adult bodies, their well-being, their safety and their experience of meaning and purpose? We also explore the risks to older adults from novel and intended surveillance technology, body modification and the internet of things (IoT). And, we ask what are the intersectional, social justice and equity issues? The themes included in the book represent major issues of our aging journey: the body and its modification; communication, privacy, and surveillance; gerontechnology and aging in place; and technology and information gathering.”
