BSG is also active in raising the profile of ageing and in drawing attention to its social, economic and policy implications.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015 the ARK Ageing team established the first ever branch of BSG in Northern Ireland (<strong>BSGNI<\/strong>). We bring together practitioners, educators, policy-makers, students and older people.\u00a0 The aim of the society in Northern Ireland is to increase awareness of social gerontology, and to develop a vibrant, cross sector, social gerontology research network within Northern Ireland. Areas of interest will include social and behavioural sciences; humanities; medicine; health; housing; social care; nursing; policy arenas and voluntary agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a title=\"BSGNI activities\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ark.ac.uk\/ap\/bsgni\/bsgni-activities\/\">here<\/a> to find out about BSGNI activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about gerontology, have a look at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XT4vy07pIsE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">discussion by Paul Nash<\/a> (Centre For Innovative Ageing at Swansea University) which is available in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ark.ac.uk\/ap\/resources\/videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">videos section<\/a> of our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ark.ac.uk\/ap\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Resources<\/a> webpage.
