Researching Social Gerontology

Through a careful selection of key articles published over the past few decades, this major work addresses how social gerontologists research aging. The overarching theme of this collection is methodological—exemplifying the different ways of conducting investigations about the most important issues in ageing studies. Under the expert guidance of a team of respected editors, this four-volume set brings together key contributions to the social scientific study of the ageing process and the places, relationships, and institutions that shape that process. Broken down into thematic chapters, it offers works that take on the most significant challenges of research about aging.<br>
