Gerontology
|
|
|
Gerontology is naturally diverse, and embraces a wide array of disciplines and scholarly perspectives within at least the social sciences and humanities, the bench sciences of biology and chemistry, medicine, and the health sciences. Studies of aging and of older persons have long been situated within disciplines, and have generally assumed the theoretical foundations and dominant methodological approaches that characterize particular disciplines.
The Graduate Center for Gerontology at the University of Kentucky recognizes the diverse ways of exploring aging and older persons. But instead of limiting students within a particular discipline, or even just providing opportunities to study in several disciplines, we seek to develop in students a truly integrative and holistic way of thinking about gerontology. The scope of our program involves the continuums of cell to society, and theory to practice. Students at the doctoral level cannot possibly become experts in all areas of gerontology and all scales of inquiry.
