More-Than-Human Aging

Animals, Robots, and Care in Later Life

Beschreibung

So far, aging has been investigated in the social sciences in purely human terms. This is the first collection of original work that considers aging as taking place in relation to other species. This volume aims to start a conversation about aging by taking its more-than-human participants seriously.
