| Annotation | Ethnography has emerged as new field of study in gerontology. This area - also known as minority gerontology or minority ageing - focuses on the racial, ethnic and cultural processes of ageing and the aged, and the problems of social inequality in an ageing society. A major concern is the absence of a core knowledge base on minority populations, and the lack of relevant theories and research applicable to these groups. This article is a critique of the influence of empirical, scientific, logical positivism and the historically strong emphasis on quantitative methods in gerontology. It advocates the use of qualitative research in educational gerontology through ethnographic interviews. |
