    Dementia is changing. Social media arguments show us how by James Fletcher

    by James Fletcher October 10, 2019

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.
