      Age Studies takes an invigorating approach to the study of age and ageing in contemporary society. Encompassing ageing throughout the life course, taking in childhood, adolescence, mid-life and older age, and situated explicitly within a sociological disciplinary framework, Age Studies:

      • Explores current social science debates on the study of ageing linking these to core sociological concepts.
      • Links theory and application, using a variety of examples and international case studies
      • Includes chapter summaries, further reading and guided questions. 

      A thought-provoking companion to advanced undergraduates and postgraduate student studying ageing, older people, social gerontology and related courses.
