Sociological Perspectives on Aging Edition: 1

Comprehensive yet accessible, Sociological Perspectives on Aging offers an introduction to the study of aging with a particular focus on Canadian contexts. The text's sociological focus helps students understand how micro-level individual experiences of aging connect to macro-level considerations of how society is organized, including political, economic, cultural, and historical features of social structure. The text also examines how intersecting inequalities--including those related to class, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation--shape experiences of old age.
