Description
Frank Oswald, a solo author, rethought the role of place in aging research in two thousand twenty-four. Environmental gerontology studies how older people relate to their surroundings, from home to neighborhood. After decades of work, Oswald argues the field needs fresh theory for fast-changing societies.
He sets out lasting issues, like how an aging person interacts with the home, and new ones, like technology use in a digital world. He reviews theories of person-environment relations, stressing ideas like transaction and co-construction. Western studies are over-represented in the proof he cites, he notes. The paper ends with a synthesis of how theory can meet both old and new challenges.
