  • Research Description

    As a social gerontologist, I investigate complex and pressing problems related to aging through independent research that integrates the perspectives and methodologies of gerontology, sociology, and women’s studies. My research reflects a commitment to the interdisciplinary exploration of aging. Through my research, I investigate and promote health and well-being for older adults. I do this work in four related areas: spirituality, religion, and aging; resilience and health; women’s studies and aging; and ageism.
