A 6 week interactive workshop. How does our perception of ourselves transform as we grow older? In what ways does aging change how we view others? How has the concept of “age” changed over time?
The texts in this series explore these and other questions about entering middle age, growing older, caring for aged, loved ones, and finding satisfaction in later stages of life.
The book Literature and Aging: An Anthology will be used and provided for this class.
