- Title
Reflections on Gerontology, Minorities, and Immigrants from the 1960s to the 2020s.
- Authors
Markides, Kyriakos S.
- Abstract
In this article, I take a brief look at my understanding of the development of gerontology, mostly social gerontology, from the 1960s to today, through my career as a gerontologist since 1976. I comment on conceptual development, the quest for successful aging, ethnic minority and Hispanic aging, and the internationalization of gerontology. My views are based upon my decades of research as well as experience as the founding and current editor of the Journal of Aging and Health, which I founded in 1989.
