This course provides an overview of diversity in aging through a multidisciplinary approach. Cultural Diversity & Aging explores key gerontological concepts, examines current applicable research, and summarizes important policies concerning the senior population. Within historical context this course separates gerontologic contributions from several disciplines (sociology, psychology, demography, and public policy). Cultural Diversity & Aging challenges students to consider complex issues of aging and their unique impact on diverse aged populations. Additionally, it examines the diversity among seniors in such complex areas as; ethnic origin, education, income, health status, health beliefs and their individual relation to the health care industry.
