Policy Series Symposium: Saving Social Security: Is Raising the Retirement Age the Answer?
Chair: Robert Hudson Co-Chair: Sara E. Rix This symposium, co-chaired by Robert Hudson and Sara Rix, will bring together experts from all four sections of GSA (BS, BSS, HS, and SRPP) and from the women’s and minority task forces to examine from an interdisciplinary perspective the impact of raising the eligibility age for full Social Security benefits, generally referred to as the retirement age. This symposium builds on the Spring 2011 issue of Public Policy & Aging Report on this topic. Some of the issues to be addressed include: What accounts for political interest in increasing the age and what do reform proposals involve? Are older Americans able to work longer, i.e., has there been a compression of morbidity or has morbidity been extended over a longer period of time? What about age- related cognitive changes? What would an increase mean for women and minorities? What health interventions could help prolong working life? Ample opportunity will be provided for audience discussion of what has proven to be a very thorny, and hot, political issue.

BSS Fellows/Emerging Scholars Mentoring Workshop
The goal of this mentoring workshop is to provide an informal, yet structured social setting that affords emerging scholars an opportunity to meet BSS Fellows and establish professional contacts within the section. During the workshop, emerging scholars and BSS Fellows will have an opportunity to discuss strategies in preparing for successful scholarly and professional careers. Through sharing of their career experiences, the participating BSS Fellows will begin to identify ways they may assist emerging scholars with: 1) networking; 2) developing awareness of general policies and practices relevant to the academic or research environment; 3) preparing for the job market; and 4) navigating the publish or perish landscape, learning tenure, and promotion.
