Aging and the Life Course
Aging & the Life Course: Social & Cultural Contexts provides an accessible, up-to-date introduction to the study of aging and the life course from a distinctly sociological perspective. It explores the sociocultural dimensions of aging while encouraging critical thinking about the diversity of aging experiences, societal attitudes toward older adults, the politics and economics of growing old, and end-of-life resources. Throughout the text, Deborah Lowry emphasizes the relevance of the material for working with older populations, understanding social policy and policy debates, improving communities, relating to others, and understanding ourselves. Organized into four major sections, Part I introduces students to fundamental demographic, sociological, and life course concepts; part II explores the experiences and conditions of aging, especially in particular groups; and part III presents current research on older adults’ engagement in work, family, social networks, and sex. Finally, Part IV addresses themes of aging and social change.

In 2017 an all-male nine-judge bench of the Indian Supreme Court delivered the landmark Justice K.S. Puttaswamy & Ors v. Union of India judgment on privacy.

They argue that while Puttaswamy has been central in clarifying the extent of (and extensions to) the right to privacy as a fundamental right, the discourse on this has long existed in India — in various gendered social movements, policy-making around women’s rights, feminist historiography, and discourses on the family, sexual rights, autonomy and choice (in and outside courts), digni...

Broken Bridges
Broken Bridge is about a baby, a drug dealer, and all the forces that swept them both toward a tragedy. More than half a million babies are born each year in the U.S. who were exposed to drugs or alcohol before they were born. This book tells the story of one of them, and what happens when the drug dealer who sold drugs to her mother has a change of heart. From a hospital in a large city to the emptiest reaches of the California desert , Broken Bridges traces the connections among the agencies that could have made a diff erence--but didnt--and the people who came into Baby Isabels life as a result.
