We encourage participants to address:

·"truth" in narratives about aging (whose truths matter, what 
constitutes a "truthful" telling; power dynamics in narratives; and 
narratives from underrepresented groups);

  * narratives around age and longevity;
  * narratives about care;
  * narratives about old age during the COVID-19 pandemic/during lockdown;
  * reflections on cultural narratives, processes and strategies;
  * ageist portrayals of older people in cultural and media texts, as
    well as in advertising and technology;
  * intergenerational narratives of solidarity and conflict (climate
    change, care, welfare systems, etc.);
  * narratives bridging social practices;
  * identities and representations across different ages;
  * aging in data: older adults in a datafied society (the absence of
    older people from some data and ageist data bias)
  * narratives of algorithms;
  * narratives about younger and older people;

In particular, we welcome research that investigates the different 
concepts and methods used in multiple disciplines as they attempt to 
give shape to future narratives of aging processes. Studies with the aim 
of bringing together different disciplines in approaching topics related 
to aging, and of developing new research tools and methodologies are 
encouraged to be presented at the ENAS & NANAS conference.

*Plenary sessions, panels and individual papers: *The online conference 
will consist of plenary sessions, symposia, and panel presentations 
organized virtually by the /National University of Political Studies and 
Public Administration’s /Communication Department  Bucharest, Romania.

Contributors of papers should plan to present their papers virtually for 
15 minutes, allowing for 5‐10 minutes of discussion.

*Proposals for panels: *of up to 4 papers, each should include the title 
of the panel, an abstract of 800 words referring to each of the papers 
including the paper titles, a 5‐line biography of the panel chair(s) and 
of each of the other contributors, and contact details of the chair(s) 
and contributors.

*Proposals for papers: *should include the title of the paper, an 
abstract of 250 words, a 5‐line biography of the presenter, and contact
