Emerald Studies in the Humanities, Ageing and Later Life

Emerald Studies in the Humanities Ageing and Later Life responds to the growing need for scholarship focused on age identity and meaning in late life in a time of unprecedented longevity. For the first time in human history there are more people in the world aged 60 years and over than under age five. In response empirical gerontological research on how and why we age has seen exponential growth. An unintended consequence of this growth however has been an increasing chasm between the need to study age through generalizable data - the objective" - and the importance of understanding the human experience of growing old.
