S6 E160 – Dr. Austin Oswald and Queer Gerontology

This episode on Out Loud Queer Creatives Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Austin Oswald from the Queer Gerontology Lab at Dalhousie University for a thoughtful conversation about the intersections of aging, identity, and community.

In this episode, Dr. Oswald helps us unpack what gerontology is and why it matters, especially in relation to the queer community. We discuss the unique experiences, challenges, and opportunities that come with aging as a queer person, as well as the importance of research that centers queer lives across the lifespan.

We also talk about the community survey currently underway as part of the lab’s project, how listeners can get involved, and why this kind of work is so valuable in building a more inclusive future for queer people of all ages.

It’s an insightful and meaningful conversation about visibility, care, and the importance of understanding queer aging through a community-centered lens. Tune in and get Out Loud with Dr. Austin Oswald.

PLUS! We have so much new music from:

ANRY, Bitch Stick, FREiBERD, Homofonik, I Fiorucci, Jared Gamber, Lady Machete, Leonardo Amor, Shaun and the Stotty Cakes, and Tullara.
