Ageing, Men and Social Relations

New Perspectives on Masculinities and Men's Social Connections in Later Life

While there has been an increase in scholarship on men, ageing and masculinities, little attention has been paid to the social relations of men in later life. This collection fills this gap by foregrounding older men's experiences, providing new perspectives across the intersections of old age, ethnicities, class and sexual and gender identity.
