Age Studies

Age Studies is an academic field that examines how age influences people's experiences, identities, and societal roles. It explores how aging affects access to opportunities, social status, and cultural perceptions, considering factors like gender, race, and class. The field aims to understand and challenge stereotypes about different age groups, from youth to old age, and to analyze policies and practices that impact aging populations. By doing so, Age Studies promotes more inclusive and equitable approaches to aging in society.
