In the last decades, aging, care, and migration have become central concerns on an individual as well as on a societal level. Highlighting the significance of exchange between disciplines on these topics, the Symposium on Aging, Care and Migration aims at facilitating the international exchange of PhD students and establishing an early career network of emerging scholars. The keynote on Day 1 was given by Prof. Sandra Torres (Uppsala University, Sweden), leading expert in the field of Social Gerontology and Migration Studies, on “Caring democracy: the role that theoretically-astute understandings of ethnicity and race must play”. Additionally, Prof. Torres held a skills workshop on Day 1.
