Humanities, arts, and cultural gerontology scholars focusing on issues of aging are scattered across all academic disciplines. GSA’s Humanities, Arts, and Cultural Gerontology Advisory Panel seeks to cultivate a vibrant, supportive community that integrates these scholars so that they can work together and learn from each other.
Many scholars who work in this domain have academic backgrounds in the humanities, ranging from traditional disciplines as history, literature, theology, and philosophy, to more recent ones such as cultural studies, disability studies, narrative studies, gender studies, performance studies, theatre studies, environmental studies, architecture, or linguistics.
