This title was first published in 2000: This collection of papers
examines the development of education for older adults against the
background of an ageing population and the challenge of lengthening
life expectancy. It brings together contributions from the UK and
Canada. The book analyzes the current situation, reviews trends and
perspectives and discusses educational gerontology and its
relationship to older adults in the approach to the 21st century.
There is a call for recognition of the status of older people in
education on the basis of social justice, using the notions of
equal opportunity, access to democratic participation, respect for
persons and the status of equal citizenship. There is also
recognition of the need to empower older adults by facilitating a
sense of autonomy and self-determination. Educational gerontology
is examined in the context of critical theory and social
gerontology, raising a number of questions necessary to the
understanding of critical educational gerontology. The book seeks
to promote a positive attitude to ageing and concludes by drawing
out implications for the future.
