The Collective Spirit of Aging Across Cultures: 4th Generational Theories of Intersection:... [In this chapter, authors asserted that the multifarious reality of older adults’ social positions offer unique opportunities and challenges to our traditional gerontological theories. Authors presented intersectionality as an analytical framework to move readers beyond their disciplinary boundaries towards a 4th generation of theories for co-creation of innovative theories, methods, and interventions. In the co-edited book, The Collective Spirit of Aging Across Cultures, we critically reflect on how chapter authors integrated gerontological theories guided by the philosophical assumptions of intersectionality for addressing multicultural issues of aging, including caregiving, intimacy, elder mistreatment, financial crisis, housing transitions, and technology that span and interact with all social identities at multiple levels. We have invited readers to embrace a lens of intersectionality, and provided a discourse towards a 4th generation of theories to inform trans-disciplinary professionals on how to co-create with collectivist communities aimed at addressing social justice, health and well-being of multicultural older adults.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[In this chapter, authors asserted that the multifarious reality of older adults’ social positions offer unique opportunities and challenges to our traditional gerontological theories. Authors presented intersectionality as an analytical framework to move readers beyond their disciplinary boundaries towards a 4th generation of theories for co-creation of innovative theories, methods, and interventions. In the co-edited book, The Collective Spirit of Aging Across Cultures, we critically reflect on how chapter authors integrated gerontological theories guided by the philosophical assumptions of intersectionality for addressing multicultural issues of aging, including caregiving, intimacy, elder mistreatment, financial crisis, housing transitions, and technology that span and interact with all social identities at multiple levels. We have invited readers to embrace a lens of intersectionality, and provided a discourse towards a 4th generation of theories to inform trans-disciplinary professionals on how to co-create with collectivist communities aimed at addressing social justice, health and well-being of multicultural older adults.]
