This original collection explores how critical gerontology can make sense of old age inequalities to inform and improve social work research, policy and practice and empower older people. With examples of practice-facing research, this book engages with key debates on age-related human rights and social justice issues. The critical and conceptual focus will expand the horizons of those who work with older people, addressing the current challenges, issues and opportunities that they face.

Reviews
"This book will help prepare future generations of social workers to serve and advocate for the older adult population. I highly recommend this book to social workers with an interest in working with older adults or those educating future social workers to practice in the aging field."
