#049: Investigating Indigenous Intersections of Aging and Disability with Nina De Bettin Padolin and Eva-Maria Trinkaus

Joining us on the podcast today is Nina De Bettin Padolin, a scholar in the field of aging (age) studies from the University of Graz, along with our colleague Eva-Maria Trinkaus, who also specializes in this field. Our discussion today primarily focuses on aging, care, and disability in literature (in particular, indigenous storytelling) and other media and the way they can inform (non-Western) understandings of these topics, which are expressed differently around the world. An important element when analyzing this literature is a consideration of the role colonialism (has) played in the lives and cultures of indigenous people. We hope you tune in to find out why the humanities have so much to offer in terms of understanding aging in our modern world.
