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.
