    Gaming the Aging Brain?

    by Stephen Katz February 17, 2017
    by Stephen Katz February 17, 2017

    Our culture has created a new dimension of ageism that equates hyper-cognitive abilities with successful aging.

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.
