GERON 5005 - Race, Ethnicity, and Aging

Meets with GERON 3005. This course is designed to present a broad overview of aging within the framework of race and ethnicity by examining some of the major issues related to our aging society, research methodology, and theories of aging with future implications on the local, regional, and national levels. It will focus on diversity and some of the multicultural factors that contribute to the life-course: the socialization differences and the "life-chance" differences that may follow ethnic, racial and/or minority status, including gender.
