Advancing the notion of connected autonomy, and highlighting the
importance of interdisciplinary research in the development of this
novel concept, this volume explores the possibility of maintaining
the freedom to make one's own decisions in later life, while also
remaining connected to others - as well as to things, services,
places and events. Through a series of case studies, the book
examines the importance of preserving self-determination as health,
environmental and social circumstances render autonomy more
difficult, showing that innovations in social interaction and
technology have the capacity to enhance older persons'
connectedness to their environment, while at the same time,
offering opportunities for self-governance. As such, it will appeal
to scholars across the social sciences with interests in ageing and
the life course, the sociology of science and technology and
research methods.
