| Annotation | Social theories of ageing are discussed in relation to their preparedness to deal with the phenomenon of ageing with physical impairment. An overview of the social theories of ageing is presented and examined as to how they currently depict and/or include disability in their frameworks, and how they could be used to explore the experience of ageing with physical impairment. Most social theories of ageing are found not to directly deal with ageing and physical impairment or the cumulative experience of disability over the life course. Instead, the author suggests using social models of disability as frameworks in this process. She provides examples of how this might be done with current social theories of ageing. (RH). |
