Description
Now in its eighth edition, Aging as a Social Process continues to show students that human aging is more than just a matter of biology-it is also a complex social process. Drawing on a wide variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives and with a multidisciplinary approach, Aging as a Social Process sheds light on the individual and societal dimensions of aging. This edition features data from the 2021 Census, the latest research in the field, current research and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, coverage of aging and mental health, older adult marginalization, technology, and intersectionality. Aging as a Social Process offers students a thoroughly current and comprehensive introduction to the sociological study of aging in Canada.
