This panel examines the intersections of ageing and (trans)national mobilities in and beyond Europe, paying close attention to the spatial and life course aspects of the ageing process. It considers the implications of ageing in, out, and between places in a relational perspective, encompassing a diversity of ageing experiences in relation to gender, race, generations, sexuality and disability. It focuses on a multitude of ageing experiences - on the move (for instance, as a refugee or Roma population), as long-lasting diasporic trajectories, or as 'left behind' upon the migration of younger generations. The experiences of ageing of those who stay, move and settle in different regions of the world have important implications at the state, institutional and individual level, and raise important questions in contexts of re-structuring welfare systems, heightening of border controls and tightening of migration regimes. We welcome methodologically innovative papers addressing one or more of the following themes: welfare system and the challenge of ageing societies; intergenerational support within and across borders, including challenges to mobility and patterns of mobility and immobility across borders; care and imaginative mobility strategies; gendered, racialized and sexualized experiences of ageing; experiences of disability and/or loneliness in later life.
