Important concepts and current social policies will be considered within historical context. This course will draw from multiple disciplines, including psychology, anthropology, sociology, and the health sciences in an exploration of the aging experience among diverse older populations. Particular emphasis will be placed on social conflict and the disparities that exist among older adult populations and the impact of these disparities on health, well-being, and access to resources.
