The course, teached by the professor and some external contributors, aims at sweeping the field of the sociology of ageing, in order to link at the same time theoretical topics (the large sociological theories which had an interest for ageing-related themes) and concrete problems (mistreatment, dependence, active ageing, etc.) |
