Welcome To
The
Cultural Context of
Aging Home Page
One of the main
purposes of this web site is to provide support
for the 3rd edition of:
THE CULTURAL CONTEXT OF AGING:
WORLDWIDE
PERSPECTIVES
Jay Sokolovsky, ed.
Greenwood Press, 2009
NOW with a Web Book - 10 additional chapters
available on the web
This
web site not only provides support materials for
the third edition of my text, The Cultural
Context of Aging, but also includes on-line
course syllabi from instructors around the
country, extensive supplementary resources for
each section of the book and other numerous links
for teachers, students and researchers. Please
feel free to e-mail me using the link above my
picture to share your ideas about teaching and
research.
As a fun starter
exercise, click on the
Comparative Gerontology Quiz
to see how I begin my Aging, Culture, and
Experience class, and see how you do!
Throughout the supplementary
resources pages look for special features such as
Newsflashes,
Web Specials and
Gerontological Anthropology in Action. The
latter feature has short descriptions or articles
about scholars who are applying qualitative and
cross-cultural approaches to important issues for
older adult life.
