Aging Literacies

"Aging Literacies suggests the necessity of becoming more literate about how current research on aging might impact the field of rhetoric and composition studies. The text explores the intricacies involved with defining aging, the challenges of recognizing and negotiating ageist stereotypes, the role gender, race and class play in aging, and the ways we learn as we go. While the focus for the text is on aging and faculty development, the aging concerns addressed in the text can help readers consider aging issues more generally in their own research designs."--BOOK JACKET.
