“Ceaseless is Madame’s fight against the ravages of Old Man Time”: Ageing and Agelessness in Interwar Britain (Talk, Durham, 22 May 2018)

posted on March 9, 2025

Associate Professor of Medical Humanities, James Stark (University of Leeds) will be joining the Postgraduate and ECR Network at Durham’s Centre for Medical Humanities, to give a talk on his work for the AHRC-funded Endless Possibilities of Rejuvenation project.

Examining how our attitudes towards ageing and rejuvenation changed in the first half of the twentieth century, Endless Possibilities of Rejuvenation works in partnership with the National Trust, the Thackray Medical Museum and Boots to bring the social, commercial and scientific factors associated with anti-ageing products to a wide audience.

James’ talk ‘“Ceaseless is Madame’s fight against the ravages of Old Man Time”: Ageing and Agelessness in Interwar Britain’ will present findings from the two-year project (to be completed September 2018), and also discuss some of the collaborations and engagement activities the project has inspired.

The talk will take place on Tuesday 22 May 2018, 5.30-6.30pm, at the Collier Room, Hild Bede College, Durham University.

This event is free and refreshments will be provided. All are welcome!
