Welcome

Since 1987 the Centre for Social Gerontology at Keele University has been at the forefront of research, teaching and policy development in the field of ageing.

The Centre's work on the social analysis of ageing reflects the importance of diversity through all phases of the life course. Adopting interdisciplinary perspectives, our research focuses on areas such as family and kinship, women and ageing, social inclusion and exclusion, inter-generational relationships, and the social policy of later life.
