Overview
The purpose of the Ageing Societies module is to explore the field of social policy and ageing/social gerontology with students. The module will provide students with an opportunity to discuss a range of substantive topics that are relevant to both individual and population ageing. In order to help students acquire a critical understanding of both the opportunities and challenges that demographic ageing presents, the module will introduce students to issues relating to the social construction of ageing, long-term care systems, inter-generational relationships, interest representation and forms of ?active ageing?.
