As part of this there will be a thorough examination of such foundational concepts as culture, ethnicity and "race," facilitating critical use of these concepts by students. There will be a number of presentations by researchers experienced in doing aging research in cross-cultural settings. Each student is asked to select a topical area for individual study and exploration that is consistent with the cross-cultural focus of the course.
