Co-chairs
 | Associate Professor Tim Windsor Flinders University Tim Windsor is Director of the Generations research initiative, within the College of Education, Psychology and Social Work at Flinders University. His research interests focus on social engagement and the psychological and social resources that people use to maximise their developmental potential, overcome challenges, and effectively negotiate transitions, particularly in later life. Dr Windsor has been awarded numerous grants including an ARC Future Fellowship to study developmental changes in social relationships, and their implications for mental health and cognition. He has co-authored more than 70 peer reviewed journal articles and book chapters, with the majority concerned with social networks, cognition, and emotional wellbeing in older adulthood. |
 | Dr Helen Barrie University of South Australia Dr Helen Barrie is a Senior Research Fellow and Acting Director of The Australian Alliance of Social Enterprise (TAASE) at the University of South Australia. As a social gerontologist and geographer, Helen’s research has a focus on Australia’s changing population and the implications of this for society and communities. Much of this work involves an examination of the interaction between people and the built environment; community connectedness and social networks; all with a particular focus on ageing populations. She is proud to have been an Australian Association of Gerontology member for 16 years; a past state and national president and now a life member. |
