About the Book

This original collection explores how critical gerontology can make sense of old age inequalities to inform social work research, policy and practice. Engaging with key debates on age-related human rights, the conceptual focus addresses the current challenges and opportunities facing those who work with older people. With examples of practice-facing research, this book engages with key debates on age-related human rights and social justice issues. The critical and conceptual focus will expand the horizons of those who work with older people, addressing the current challenges, issues and opportunities that they face.

Review :
“This book will help prepare future generations of social workers to serve and advocate for the older adult population. I highly recommend this book to social workers with an interest in working with older adults or those educating future social workers to practice in the aging field.” Journal of Gerontological Social Work “This collection represents an outstanding contribution to the debate on the future of social work with older people. A timely and important book, drawing together some of the most influential writers and researchers in the field.” Chris Phillipson, University of Manchester "This group of leading academics have combined to produce a truly international case for the vital contribution of critical gerontology to the skilful practice of gerontological social work." Sally Richards, Oxford Brookes University
