  • GERO 200 The Aging Self: Your Pathway Through Adulthood


    Understanding personal aging pathways through adulthood is often overlooked. This course integrates both an engaging academic understanding and a personal focus on the aging experience and how our personal life choices may determine the trajectories of our aging pathways.  Through focused service-learning experiences, an aging pathway project, life course interviews, class discussions, and personal reflection, students will gain an understanding of longevity potential and the real challenges and opportunities that increased longevity presents. We will focus on how our course content may help us to enhance our overall understanding of what it means to age well within our personal, cultural, and societal contexts and how to plan for the future, regardless of where we are situated in our personal life paths.

  • GERO 340 Intersectionality: Inequalities and Vulnerabilities in Older Adulthood


    As we age, we grow more diverse. When groups differ across such areas as gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, immigration status, and/or sexual orientation and identity, disparities may result from inequalities that privilege some older adults while disadvantaging others.  These differences influence every aspect of our life course. This course addresses aging from an intersectional approach, highlighting how older adults’ experiences over time are influenced by their identity and membership within social contexts that situate them within systems of inequalities and related vulnerabilities.  We also will learn more about professional options for working with and advocating for older adults in need.
