Description
Critical Perspectives on Ageing Societies brings together leading international scholars to review and update our understanding of ageing. This book offers a challenging assessment of the complex issues facing older people and those who conduct research on ageing in the 21st century. The contributors provide close analysis of policies affecting older people, as well as insights into why research is done in particular ways. They also explore topics such as age discrimination, neo-liberal policies, and the re-medicalisation of later life. The editors offer suggestions for promoting change and share exciting visions for the renewal of critical gerontology. This book will be a valuable resource for students, academics, and practitioners interested in ageing and the life course.
