Studies of Ageing Masculinities: Still in Their Infancy?
edited by Anna Tarrant and Jacqueline H. Watts

Sociological and gerontological research concerning men’s ageing remains piecemeal and under - theorised despite recognition of the gendered nature of ageing and burgeoning recognition that older people and their needs are largely absent and less considered in academic and public rhetoric.The contributors to this one - day workshop sought to improve understanding of contemporary men’s ageing by showcasing current research in this area, to forge a multi-disciplinary network of scholars, practitioners and end users interested in men’s ageing, and to generate future research collaborations.
