Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This insightful Research Agenda examines sexual and gender diversity among older people. Expert authors explore how social attitudes, laws, activism and social policies contribute both directly and indirectly to ageist prejudice, particularly against the LGBTQI+ population.Adopting interdisciplinary, mixed-methods approaches, with a focus on lived experiences and the voices of older people across the globe, the book engages with key topics including access to healthcare, activism, community-building, politics and sex. Throughout embodied memories, the daily management of intimate life and avenues for further research are highlighted. Chapters demonstrate a wide range of needs, but also outstanding strategies of resistance, survival, joy and pride across the life course. They stir the reader’s scholarly, political and social imagination, fostering innovative ways to rethink ageing in the foreseeable future.A Research Agenda for Queer Ageing is a valuable resource for scholars and students of gender and queer studies, ageing, gerontology, psychology, human geography, sociology, anthropology and social work. It is also beneficial to policymakers interested in improving their understanding and inclusion of LGBTQI+ people.
