Older Men

Monday, 7 July 2025: 11:00-12:45
Location: FSE038 (Faculty of Education Sciences (FSE))
RC11 Sociology of Aging (host committee)

Language: English

Sociological studies of ageing men using critical approaches to the theme have only recently started emerging internationally. In this section, we want to develop these critical approaches further, to overcome the notion of ageing as a predominantly feminised experience. We welcome empirical, theoretical and methodological contributions.
