| Education Aging Explored Through Film: how we live and understand our lives How is the journey through later life depicted in modern films? How do these portrayals relate to the scientific data available on aging and development? Dr. Holly Tuokko, Director, Centre on Aging, will introduce students to contemporary views on aging and later life from multiple theoretical and interdisciplinary scientific perspectives. Film, more than other contemporary mediums, offers portrayals of later life in a breadth of social contexts and offers alternatives to the now-outdated views of aging and decline. For a more detailed course description see the syllabus. Instructor: Dr. Holly Tuokko, Professor in Psychology. The course is offered as PSYC 391 A03, GEOG 391 A03, and SOCI 390 A01 class in the UVic calendar (course credit of 1.5 units), and is offered to the public through Continuing Studies. |
