Ageing with digital technologies: From theory to agency and practice
The title of this special issue, “Ageing with digital technologies” points to two of the growing challenges facing the twenty-first century, namely the changing demographic structure of societies connected to ageing populations on the one hand and the technological development and digitalization of societies on the other hand. These challenges are continuously addressed by researchers and scholars across the globe in a variety of aca-demic disciplines, including medicine, demography, biotechnology, neu-roscience to name just a few. At the same time, questions of ageing and technology do not go unnoticed in other disciplines, including humanities and social sciences. The focus of this special issue is on the latter, namely exploring and better understanding the social and material factors, in terms of theory, agency, and practice, that play a role when older people are co-creators, users, and recipients of technological innovations. The notion that older adults are one of the groups for whom digitalization of society is the most problematic has been widely discussed by ageing researchers (Russel, 2011, Quaan-Haase et al., 2018). Most research on older people and digital technology has previously been discussed in two ways: first, in the context of digital and social inequalities, digital divide, and social exclusion. This research has also informed the popular
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Ageing and Later Life (IJAL) serves an audience interested in social and cultural aspects of ageing and later life development. As such, the Journal welcomes contributions that aim at advancing the theoretical and conceptual debate on research on ageing and later life. Contributions based on empirical work are also welcome as are methodologically interested discussions of relevance to the study of ageing and later life. Being an international journal, IJAL acknowledges the need to understand the cultural diversity and context dependency of ageing and later life.
