Title: The dream of being in here

Author Presentation: “It was in her old age that the courageous and engaged Elice fulfilled her dream of a lifetime: to enter University of São Paulo (USP). She takes a course in Gerontology, in a room in which most students are, on average, 20 years old. The relationships established there are diverse and enriching. Elice brings with her an unique trajectory and perspective on life for the construction of collective knowledge in the room, orchestrating the researcher’s scientific analysis with a first-person report on the various aspects of old age. And this is a mutual learning process”.

Author: Cristiano de Assis

Model: Elice Dias Oliveira, Gerontology undergraduate student at USP (Brazil), author’s classmate and retired public school principal.
