Aims of this course are to highlight the utility of theories of ageing for research and beyond and to provide an overview of the development in sociological theories of ageing, combined with insights from perspectives of psychology and social policy applied to ageing.
In this course, you will also be introduced to key issues and literature concerning the life course approach and become familiar with the debates and literature on successful and active ageing. At the end of the course, students will be able to link theory to practice, in particular considering the areas of work and retirement, family, and social connectedness.
