Old Age, New Science: Gerontologists and Their Biosocial Visions, 1900-1960
Hyung Wook Park
Explores how a group of American and British life scientists contributed to gerontology’s development as a multidisciplinary field. It examines the foundational “biosocial visions” they shared. Hyung Wook Park shows how these visions shaped popular discourses on aging, directly influenced the institutionalization of gerontology, and reflected the biases of their founders.
