Join the Museum’s Center for Life Sciences for an evening of dialogue and convening focusing on the concept of “crip time” (the non-linear, flexible experience of time shaped by disability) and aging.

This conversation will consider the concept of aging and the life course asking questions such as: what does it mean to age while disabled? How does disability prepare us for aging? How does disability disrupt expectations of aging? What about those who experience time differently?

An esteemed panel of voices across sectors will explore these questions and more during this special event, part of the Museum’s yearlong Being Human spotlight.

Access Information: This event will have ASL interpretation and TypeWell live captioning. Seats will be reserved up front for those accessing interpretation/captions. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Masks are required by all in-person attendees and will be provided at the entrance if needed.
