    Heterogeneity in Health and Aging

    by Jielu Lin February 7, 2019
    by Jielu Lin February 7, 2019

    Empirical work thus far suggests that both between and within individual variability in physical functional limitations and cognitive impairment appear to be more closely tied to race/gender/class-based opportunity structure and processes of cumulative advantage/disadvantage than to randomness.

    Mobility and invisibility: As we age, time for a policy phase change

    by Ted Schrecker November 8, 2018
    by Ted Schrecker November 8, 2018

    Raise the visibility of non-inclusive transport, the United Nations Human Rights Council would do well to consider establishing a special procedure related to mobility in the context of the antidiscrimination norm and the economic, social and cultural rights to which most of the world’s countries have committed themselves.

    by Andrew Harding October 25, 2018
    by Andrew Harding October 25, 2018

    Recognizing the social and citizen rights of older adults

    by Josée Grenier and Mélanie Bourque March 30, 2018
    by Josée Grenier and Mélanie Bourque March 30, 2018

    The values ​​of equality, recognition and dignity can only exist in a just State, where individuals and the community come together in support of solidarity. The problem however, is that we are losing ground where dignity, justice, and solidarity are concerned.

    What are we talking about? Constructions of loneliness among older people in the Swedish news-press

    by Axel Ågren March 16, 2018
    by Axel Ågren March 16, 2018

    by Gemma Carney March 2, 2018

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.
