About this Event

Dates:Monday, June 24 - Friday, June 28

Times: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. EST

Format: In-person instruction

This course is designed to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the aging population, a global phenomenon that significantly influences various aspects of our society, such as the economy, health/healthcare, intergenerational relations, and the environment. By exploring the biopsychosocial framework, this course will enhance students’ understanding of the complex process of adult development and aging, a crucial area of study for those interested in careers in healthcare, social work, or policymaking. This course will especially delve into the effects of social marginalization (e.g., classism, racism, and ageism) on the psychosocial and biological processes of adult development and aging.

Learning objectives:

  • Provide an opportunity for students to think critically about the societal implications of an aging society.
  • Provide a deeper understanding of adult development and aging, especially by utilizing the biopsychosocial framework.
  • Gain an appreciation of the complexity of the conceptual and methodological issues related to studying the aging process.
  • Consider the implications of this course for one’s own aging and aging of family.

Prerequisite knowledge: None

Technical requirements: None
