| An interdisciplinary study of social, cultural, and political aspects of aging. The PhD program in Social Gerontology will apply an interdisciplinary, comparative, and critical lens to analysing and understanding aging as a social and cultural process, construct, and outcome. It is the combination of these three perspectives, the ways that they interact with and build on one another, and a focus on both the social structural and cultural dimensions of aging that makes the program distinctive in its area. The PhD program in Social Gerontology differs from many doctoral programs in this area in that it allows students to develop and pursue broader research interests that may be outside the typical focus on functional health, demography and service management. |
