  • SOCI 3347: The Aging Revolution

    3.00 Credits
    Trinity University

    With an estimated 20 percent of everyone who has reached the age of 65 being now alive, it is not surprising that the United Nations proclaimed 1999 to be the International Year of Older Persons. Contemporary generations, particularly those in developing nations, are among the first in history to be raised with the expectation of old age, forerunners of a longevity revolution that will be felt for centuries to come. Using the theoretical and methodological tools of the social sciences, this course investigates both the personal and social ramifications of this great demographic event, developing the interrelationships between the biological, psychological, social, and cultural aspects of old age.
