    by Heather McNeil July 20, 2016
    by Heather McNeil July 20, 2016

    The keynote address, “Citizens until the End of Their Lives” given by Dr. Malcolm Payne presented a theory of aging that emerged from a career in social work, connecting ideas of citizenship and aging. Dr. Payne’s theorization began with the idea that older people are citizens.

    by Emmanuelle Tulle July 6, 2016
    by Emmanuelle Tulle July 6, 2016

    In the aftermath of the referendum, commentators have been grappling with the need to explain the result and inevitably the demographic profile of voters, and more specifically that of Leave voters, has been scrutinised.

    Portrayals of Aging in Popular Catholic Magazines – by Dana Sawchuk

    by admin June 23, 2016
    by admin June 23, 2016

    Scholars interested in aging sometimes distinguish between the socially constructed categories of the “Third Age,” a fulfilling period in the life course in which older adults experience engaged and active lives in retirement, and the “Fourth Age,” a dreaded period characterized by the decline and disease of those who are “old old.”

    Homelessness in Later Life: Recognition and Redistribution?

    by Amanda Grenier June 3, 2016
    by Amanda Grenier June 3, 2016

    Back in my graduate studies, I remember discovering Nancy Fraser’s (1997) book Justice Interruptus, and in particular, her work on recognition and redistribution.

    ‘Homelike’ long-term care: An achievable goal? by Emily Sully

    by admin May 9, 2016
    by admin May 9, 2016

    Doing age: how are our daily practices throughout the life course impacting how we will experience later life? – by Emily Cichonski

    by admin April 14, 2016
    by admin April 14, 2016

    ‘Doing age’ refers to how individuals construct age in terms of actions and interactions with others. ‘Doing age’ made me think: how do our daily practices throughout the life course impact how we will experience later life?

Welcome

Welcome to our virtual space meant to facilitate discussion with regards to critical issues in the study of aging and late life. We are concerned with questioning taken-for granted assumptions about aging and late life; fostering connections between research, theory, policy and practice; forging inter-disciplinary exchange and discussion; and promoting ideas that ultimately result in social change for older people.
