Gerontology

Human aging is a complex multi-faceted experience that unfolds over an entire lifetime. While human aging is universal it is also wildly variable shaped by individual social cultural political geographic and historical contexts. Gerontology: The basics explores the field of research education and practice which takes on the complex and multi-faceted questions issues and problems of adult aging and old age. Intended for anyone interested in understanding the origins of gerontology and its unique purview we invite the reader to join us in a critical examination of what we think we know about becoming and being old and perhaps be inspired to engage more deeply in their own travels through the life-course. .
