Barrow Course goals: The purpose of this course is to gain a greater understanding of the range and nature of the bio-psycho-social responses to aging over the life course, with an emphasis on how the sociological dynamics of aging impacts or interrelates with the biological and the psychological. A variety of theories related to the aging process will be analyzed, as well as the implications they have for social policy as the population of the U.S. ages. Fieldwork will also be conducted to delve firsthand into the issues on aging and the kinds of resources available to our senior population. COURSE OUTLINE

Extractions: Sociology of Health and Aging at Rutgers The study of health and aging has a long and distinguished tradition in the Rutgers Department of Sociology. Beginning in the 1960s with the seminal work of Matilda White Riley and Anne Foner on age and the life course, and continuing strongly in the present under the leadership of David Mechanic, research, teaching, and training in health, aging, and the life course form a central focus of our graduate program. Graduate students and faculty in this area collaborate on nationally-recognized projects funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute on Aging, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and others. Ongoing projects include research on services for the seriously mentally ill, trust in doctor-patient relationships, the reaction of elderly patients to managed care, and a longitudinal study of the health practices of New Jersey adolescents, among many others. Health and aging faculty in the Department of Sociology are all affiliated with the interdisciplinary Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research at Rutgers.

http://dmdl.uvm.edu/soc/222/

Extractions: This course will examine a variety of ethical dilemmas posed by an aging society and faced by professionals in their work with the older persons. Among the generic issues to be examined are: respect for persons (autonomy vs. paternalism, self-determinati on, informed consent, truth-telling); beneficence (assessing risks and benefits); and justice (just ways to distribute burdens and benefits). Among the substantive issues to be considered are: the use of chronological age as a criterion in the allocation of scarce health-care and other resources; the roles of families, patients, and medical personnel in decisions to forego life-sustaining treatment; limits on patient and client autonomy in decision-making; relationships among health-care personnel and so cial service providers; and the use of older subjects in biomedical, behavioral, and social research.

Extractions: Behavioral and Social Research Overview The Behavioral and Social Research (BSR) Program supports basic social and behavioral research and research training on aging processes and the place of older people in society. It focuses on how people change with aging, on the interrelationships between older people and social institutions (e.g., the family, health-care systems), and on the societal impact of the changing age composition of the population. Emphasis is placed upon the dynamic interplay between the aging of individuals and their changing social and physical environments. More Information What's New

http://www.kuce.org/isc/previews/soc/soc523_pref.html

Extractions: Sociology of Aging and the Life Course Aging is both a personal and a social phenomenon. Individuals change as they move through the life cycle, and some of the physical and social changes that occur in the individual life are called aging. Yet societies also age, and societal aging has an impact on the lives of individuals as well. In this course we will focus on both the individual and the social aspects of the aging process, the consequences these have, in turn, for how societies are structured, and the implications for social change over time. The objectives of this course are to present a general overview of the field of aging in terms of social and demographic change and to describe the impact of this change on both individuals and societal institutions. Specific goals will be: to emphasize the importance of culture and how it shapes behavior;

Jun 12 2002 Sociology Home Undergraduate Studies Graduate Studies Gerontological Studies ... Contact Us The gerontological studies program is a multi-disciplinary program designed to integrate research and theory about aging and old age. Prompted in part by the "graying" of the world's population, humanists, scientists, social scientists, and professionals have become interested in understanding the position of the aged in society, the aging process in various contexts, the meaning of aging to individuals, and the physical changes that accompany aging. The program draws on the most recent thinking and research in a variety of disciplines to provide students with a background that will be helpful after graduation both in work and in graduate or professional school. In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of the program, the core courses are drawn from four departments: anthropology, communication sciences, history, and sociology. Students may choose from a variety of courses according to their own interests. Most of the electives are not specifically gerontology courses but cover topics that contribute to the understanding of aging and the aged. The perspectives gained in the core courses will provide the student with the background needed to relate the material in the more general courses to gerontological issues. The program is firmly grounded in the liberal arts and thus provides the student with the challenge to think and communicate effectively and to integrate diverse information, theories, and practice.
