While there has been a gradual increase in scholarship on men, ageing and masculinities, little attention has been paid to the social relations of men in later life and the implications for enhancing their social wellbeing and counteracting ageist discourse.
Bringing together scholars in social gerontology and the social sciences from across Global North and South nations, this collection fills the gaps in key texts by foregrounding older men’s experiences.
It provides new perspectives across the intersections of old age, ethnicities, class and sexual and gender identity, paying particular attention to older men from seldom heard or marginalised groups.
“This collection brings together diverse international studies addressing many neglected angles and – crucially – new perspectives on men’s social connections in later life: gaming technology, older gay men’s practices, mobility patterns, intergenerational social relations, dating apps, and much more. The book is a vital addition to critical studies of older men and masculinities.” Jeff Hearn, Hanken School of Economics and University of Huddersfield
“This book is important in expanding understandings of older men’s social connections. I welcome the diversity of chapters with their insight into the later lives of men from non-western contexts.” Sarah Campbell, Manchester Metropolitan University
