LGBT Family! What are you doing this Tuesday from 1-2:30pm? Join Noell Rowan (PhD, LCSW) and Michaela Howells (PhD) for a two-part Olli At UNCW course “The Intersection of LGBT Populations and Aging: Biological and Cross-Cultural Explorations”. Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is a learning program for people age 50+ located across from UNCW. Registration is $30 and you can pay online or at the door.
Description: “The first session will address the intersection of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and aging, including educational film clips of the award-winning film, GEN SILENT, which depicts members of the LGBT older adult communities in the Boston area. We will discuss local and national resources and opportunities for community service involvement. In the second session, we will explore naturally occurring variations in genetics, hormones, sex-determining factors, and how these influence our development, bodies and lives. We will incorporate cross-cultural biological, medical and legal examples of how we respond to sexual variation and provide a framework to understand human diversity. Highlights of research on improving cultural sensitivity with LGBT older adults will also be presented.”
