This timely collection engages with representations of women and ageing in literature and visual culture. Acknowledging that cultural conceptions of ageing are constructed and challenged across a variety of media and genres, the editors bring together experts in literature and visual culture to foster a dialogue across disciplines. Exploring the process of ageing in its cultural reflections, refractions and reimaginings, the contributors to Ageing Women in Literature and Visual Culture analyse how artists, writers, directors and performers challenge, and in some cases reaffirm, cultural constructions of ageing women, as well as give voice to ageing women’s subjectivities. The book concludes with an afterword by Germaine Greer which suggests possible avenues for future research.

How are older learners faring in today’s digital society? Are they being excluded or left behind? The author explores this question and investigates strategies needed to assist older learners who want to continue learning into their golden years. Canada’s demographics are shifting, with more seniors living longer and leading more productive lives, notably through their participation in education. Incorporating adult education theory and practice with gerontological statistics and literature, the author considers the situations of older learners, who are faced with both barriers and opportunities. Technology should not be an obstacle to older learners; when potential opportunities arise—and with assistance from family and friends—education can help set older learners on a fulfilling path that enhances their lives.

The ageing of the world’s populations, particularly in Western developed countries, is a well-documented phenomenon; and despite many positive images of later life, in the media and public discourse later life is frequently depicted as a time of inevitable physical and cognitive decline. Against this background, Heinrichsmeier presents the results of her two-year sociolinguistic study examining how a group of older women of different ages negotiated their way through their own and others’ expectations of ageing and constructed different kinds of older – and other – identities for themselves. Through vivid and nuanced analysis of their chat and practices in a small village hair salon, Heinrichsmeier reveals these women’s subtle and skilful manipulation of stereotypes of ageing and the impact of the evolving talk on their identity constructions. Her study, which provides numerous short extracts of talk in both the hair salon and interview along with more detailed case studies, highlights the importance of such apparently ‘trivial’ sites – for both studying older people’s identity work and as loci for positive identity constructions and well-being in later life. This book will be of particular interest to graduate students and scholars working in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, and gerontological studies, as well as those interested in approaches integrating ethnography and language.

This Research Topic will examine the impact of trauma as it relates to the lived experiences of well-being on and in LGBTQIA+ lives in educational domains. The papers in the Topic will (re)present kaleidoscopic experiences of the social and cultural landscapes of the performative abjection of Queer gender and sexuality as experienced in and across cultural differences and intersectionality in school settings. The papers in the collection will draw on the sociology of affect as a lens for addressing how social and emotional well-being in LGBTQIA+ lives is a constant negotiation for young people. The concept of social well-being has been instrumental in bringing together a number of burgeoning disciplines across the social field sector and this Research Topic will focus on how LGBTQIA+ self-identified young people navigate historical traumas, social isolation and generate social well-being in their personal lives and communities. Researchers like Van der Kolk (2015) and Perry and Winfrey (2021) draw our attention to the impact of trauma on the body and the brain. They highlight the damaging and often long-term effect of trauma on brain development and the nervous system. Attention is also given to the ways in which trauma can inhibit, weaken and alter higher order thinking skills, concentration and neurological pathways in the brain. The body’s response to trauma can also result in a constant release of hormones such as adrenalin and cortisol that can lead to a heightened nervous system. To date there has been limited research on LGBTQI+ trauma informed narratives and their effects in Queer life worlds. The Research Topic will disseminate trauma-informed educative frameworks of practice, strengths-based resources and culturally inclusive language protocols (Greig, Bailey, Abbott, & Brunzell, 2021).

As they entered their sixties, authors Gail K. Harris, MEd, LCSW; Marilyn C. Lesser, PhD, LCSW; and Cynthia T. Soloway, JD, MSSW, MA, realized that they all had anxieties and fears about aging. They soon discovered they weren't alone and that many women were looking for support and encouragement as they aged, so they decided to write a guide to accepting and enjoying life after sixty. They conducted a series of interviews with women about the challenges that come up as they age and received an enthusiastic and passionate response. They have compiled the results from the more than two hundred interviews for this book. The responses reveal the challenges many women face as they grow older. Mass media bombards women with advertisements for antiaging products, implying natural aging is unacceptable when there is an abundant supply of makeup and creams, as well as plastic surgery, available to help them recapture their youth. Harris, Lesser, and Soloway, in contrast, celebrate the aging process. They show the insight experience brings. They explore the many facets of the women they interview, and each is given a voice in this powerful book.

"Scheib draws on her extensive research; insights of gerontology, sociology, psychology, and anthropology; and her experience as a practical pastoral theologian to develop a new approach to pastoral care with older women, a pastoral approach to aging that takes into account the social context, as well as individual analysis, and theological reflection. She proposes a model of care and a set of practices that challenge women's invisibility and assist congregations in being good places to grow old."--BOOK JACKET.
