GRN 101Introduction to Gerontology3
Introduction to the social, psychological, physiological, and philosophical aspects of aging through reading, writing, and fieldwork.
Study of family systems theory, paradigms for caregiving, illness and life-stage challenges for caregiving, and the interface between formal caregivers and caregiving families.
This course includes the study of various representations of aging, including fine art, films, novels, poetry, and more. We will compare and contrast such creative representations of aging with scientific (e.g., scholarly literature) ways of knowing about aging. Through engaging bio-psycho-social-humanities frameworks to explore aging-related phenomena, students will develop a well-rounded understanding of a variety of topics.
Study of current issues and topics in the field of aging from an interdisciplinary and global perspective with participation in a service-learning project.
An introduction to the U.S. health care system with an emphasis on issues related to older adults, including problems of access to health care for the aging population, their families, and communities.
Gerontological investigation, under faculty supervision, beyond what is offered in existing courses. For further information, consult the Directed Individual Studies section in this catalogue.
