'Framing Age is a lively collection of twelve chapters by international scholars who explore the intersectional and fragmented knowledges, policies, sciences, ethics, and cultures of ageing that shape public understanding of population politics today. The combined research leaves readers with an accessible but critical vision of the boundaries by which we negotiate inclusion and exclusion, ageing and anti-ageing, and self and society. Kudos to editors Thibauld Moulaert, Benoît Majerus and Iris Loffeier for bringing forth this masterful and timely text.' - Stephen Katz, Trent University, Canada
