About

Age studies is an interdisciplinary academic field that critically examines the social, cultural, biological, psychological, and political dimensions of age, aging processes, and the life course. It investigates how age operates as a social construct, shapes individual and collective experiences, and influences social structures, identities, and power relations, often challenging ageist assumptions.
