| Annotation | The purpose of this study was to document current practices and understandings about globalisation of gerontology education in the United States. Better understanding of ageing requires international perspectives in global communities. However little is known about how globalisation of gerontology education is practiced in U.S. graduate-level degree programmes. The authors conducted qualitative interviews with representatives of the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education, the major national organisation supporting higher education in gerontology, graduate programme directors and students. Although all respondents expressed their interest in globalising gerontology education, actual practices are diverse. The authors discuss suggested conceptualisation and strategies for globalising gerontology education. (JL). |
