Description
Introduction
In this course, we explore the way in which older age has been socially constructed and focus particularly on how the identity of being an ‘old-age pensioner’ (OAP) developed during the twentieth century.Course learning outcomes
After studying this course, you should be able to:- Understand how experiences of being an older person are shaped through a historical and mutually constitutive process involving an interplay between the personal, work and welfare; and the points of continuity and difference this interplay illuminates
- Understand how personal experiences of being older are constituted not only through age divisions but also through loci of social difference and inequality organized around class, (dis)ability, ethnicity, gender, ‘race’ and sexuality
- Understand how different social theories – Marxist, feminist, Marxist-feminist and post-structuralist – have attempted to account for, and give shape to, the personal lives of older people.
