This class explores the processes and meanings of "growing old," focusing on influences from childhood through adolescence and adulthood, with constant attention to how these processes and meanings are situated in time and space and eventually inform individual and societal conceptions of and actions concerning old age.

This seminar is designed to provide gerontology doctoral students the opportunity to place individual dissertation topics within the broader field of gerontology, and to broaden the authority with which the students engage in their dissertation work. Although work will largely be independently driven, frequent class meetings provide ongoing feedback from the group on progress and allow all participants to learn from each others work.

Residency credit for dissertation research after the qualifying examination. Students may register for this course in the semester of the qualifying examination. A minimum of two semesters are required as well as continuous enrollment (Fall and Spring) until the dissertation is completed and defended.
