Most studies of ageing have been done by the non-aged. To
correct this imbalance, Hazan enlisted the resources of an unusual
and innovative group of elderly persons in Cambridge, England.
Gathering together in a structured curriculum of seminars and
discussion groups and calling themselves the University of the
Third Age, the elders intellectually reexamine the spectrum of
sociocultural and epistemological principles starting with basics.
Hazan's careful observation, description and transcription of the
words of the Third Agers demonstrates that cognition and discourse
go through transformations and permutations as individuals attain
the so-called wisdom years. Alone in the literature on ageing,
Hazan's contribution lights the way for much new thinking and
research on and among our older population.
