TY - GEN T1 - Gendering citizenship in Western Europe : new challenges for citizenship research in a cross-national context A2 - Lister, Ruth, 1949- LA - English PP - Bristol PB - Policy YR - 2007 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_ocn250699952 AB - This important new book brings together some of the best known international scholars working within a critical gerontology perspective. Together, they review and update our understanding of how the field has developed over the last twenty-five years and, through the lens of 'passionate scholarship', provide a challenging assessment of the complex practical and ethical issues facing older people, and those who conduct research on ageing, in the 21st century. The contributions extend the critical gerontological approach conceptually, methodologically and practically. They offer close and scholarly analysis of policies affecting the lives of older people and provide insights into why research is done in particular ways. Special attention is paid to feminist contributions and new approaches to working in partnership with older people; age discrimination and ageism; the impact of neo-liberal policies and the passage of various human rights instruments; the re-medicalisation of later life; the participation of older people in research; and justice between generations. The editors and contributors offer suggestions for promoting change, and an exciting set of visions and perspectives for the renewal and development of critical gerontology in the years ahead. "Critical Perspectives on Ageing Societies" will be a valuable resource for all students, academics and practitioners interested in ageing and the life course OP - 210 CN - JV7590 .G463 2007eb SN - 9781847422378 SN - 1847422373 SN - 1281741566 SN - 9781281741561 SN - 9781447302438 SN - 1447302435 SN - 9786611741563 SN - 6611741569 SN - 9781861346940 SN - 1861346948 SN - 186134693X SN - 9781861346933 KW - Citizenship : Sex differences : Europe, Western.
