    by Anastasia Christou May 24, 2018
    by Anastasia Christou May 24, 2018

    The economic crisis in Greece has dramatically impacted most aspects of social life, and substantially altered living conditions by reducing quality of life to the bare minimum. The effects on vulnerable groups and older people however, have been particularly devastating.

    Pathways to Retirement in Flux for White-Collar Boomers

    by Erik Kojola May 11, 2018
    by Erik Kojola May 11, 2018

    The Boomers in our study describing retirement as a reflection of disengagement and detachment from society – not the active and engaged lifestyle they yearned for. Rather than leave the workforce entirely, they wanted to scale back, switch jobs, or pursue their passions, which they didn’t label as “retirement.”

    Ageism: Why Cultural Competency of Aging Matters

    by Laura Keyes and Lisa Dicke April 27, 2018
    by Laura Keyes and Lisa Dicke April 27, 2018

    Ageism has direct implications on the lives of older adults. Efficient public policy and administration requires public officials to understand the changing demographics in the communities they serve. They should also be aware of the cultural biases in their societies and how these may affect policy outcomes.

    Lessons for Brazil from Theresa May’s Ministry of Loneliness

    by Jorge Félix April 13, 2018
    by Jorge Félix April 13, 2018

    The action taken by Prime Minister Theresa May was perhaps a response to something even more alarming: the fact that the UK is being “left behind” in the longevity revolution. The biggest concern for us, as suggested by some research, is that Brazil too is striding in the direction of the tragedy in the UK.

    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.

    Time and the Bell Curve of Human Ageing

    by Gemma Carney March 2, 2018
    by Gemma Carney March 2, 2018

    Five Reasons to Adopt a More Critical Perspective on “Successful Aging at Work”

    by Hannes Zacher and Cort Rudolph February 15, 2018
    by Hannes Zacher and Cort Rudolph February 15, 2018

    Advocates of successful aging at work often neglect that individual efforts are not sufficient to fight age discrimination and improve the situation of older workers. Thus, it is important that comprehensive models of successful aging at work take into account both individual characteristics and contextual-structural factors that may influence successful aging at work, and use additional criteria of success that better reflect the experiences of all older workers.

    “It’s so good that you’re looking after them”: Encouraging critical reflection on the work of affirming valued identities in older adults and their carers

    by Laura Funk January 18, 2018
    by Laura Funk January 18, 2018

    Older adults and carers are themselves aware of the moralized discourses around aging, dying and caring, and that well-meaning attempts by others to invoke these discourses may have inadvertently generate isolation, sadness, even resentment.

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.
