About the network
Older age not only offers profound challenges to societies, it also casts existential issues into sharp relief. Against a backdrop of increasing longevity, changing work lives, declining retirement resources and a looming crisis of care, it is more important now than ever before to develop new knowledge about aging and life course through interdisciplinary conversation and exchange. Just as gender studies revolutionized our understanding of social relations by revealing gender as a fundamental axis of power and difference, critical aging studies demonstrate how age operates as a crucial dimension of social inequality, identity formation, and lived experience.
This interdisciplinary network, ‘Precarious Aging: Critical Concepts’, aims to critically examine and reframe the terminology and conceptual frameworks that have shaped our understanding of aging in academic discourse and public policy.
