Background of the annual Frank Glendenning Lecture
Dr. Frank Glendenning (1921 – 2002) was a founder member of the AEA and sometime Treasurer, a long-term member of its Executive Committee and founding co-editor of its Journal for 15 years. The annual lecture series was set up in his memory by the Association in 2003. It seeks to promote high quality thinking and informed debate about the learning and education of older people.
Frank was based at Keele University, Staffordshire, UK, where in the early eighties he organised many educational programmes and conferences in the new area of learning in later life or education for the elderly as it was then sometimes known. Frank published and travelled widely and became established internationally both as a pioneer in the field of educational gerontology and as a champion of good practice in many professional fields in which older people were the clients, patients or users.
