Humanities and Social Science Opportunities
Center on Aging
Description
We are always engaged in research projects about lifelong communities. Our current projects look at (1) how lifelong communities engage higher education and (2) the types of projects communities undertake to become more dementia inclusive.
Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies
Description
As an outgrowth of the research on mobility innovations, we have expanded our research to examine creative aging, to counter negative stereotypes and elder housing segregation. A current emphasis involves examining how some nationally organized groups are seeking to change the perception of aging from one of decline and embodied limitation to a time of creativity and ingenuity, needed to remain active while addressing embodied changes.
We share our research, and there are opportunities for forest landowners who might have unique settings that might be of interest to 91¸£Àû researchers. Announcements of various efforts are made via our news posts on our website.
We offer a wide range of research topics from climate impacts to supply chain issues and social sciences. Opportunities will depend on the project and affiliated faculty.
