Health and Aging in the Margins will expand the horizons of mainstream and academic understandings of living and aging at the intersection of diverse health experiences and marginalized biographies. Interest in life course perspectives on health and aging has expanded dramatically in recent decades. However, most attention to this topic in extant academic books has focused on more dominant social and cultural groups. This series will build on groundwork laid by these traditions to focus explicitly on the health and aging experiences of marginalized people and groups. These specific topic areas may include, but are not limited to: Racism and People of Color Stigmatized ConditionsFirst Generation StudentsAdoption and Donor ConceptionReligious and Spiritual MinoritiesWorking Class LivesUnemploymentIntimate Partner ViolenceHomelessness and Housing InsecurityRare DiseasesContested DisordersSocial and Intellectual DifferencesProgressive DiseasesTrans and Nonbinary ExperiencesImmigrant and Migrant FamiliesIntersex LivesGay / Lesbian / Bi / Pan SexualitiesTransgender Studies Consensual NonmonogamiesEarly Mortality Kink PractitionersHigh Risk OccupationsCommunity and Police ViolenceEthnic DiscriminationAsexualitiesInvisible Disabilities Sexism and FeminismHate Crimes and SurvivorshipFood InsecuritySizeism and FatphobiaDementia and Cognitive ImpairmentCommunication DifferencesChildfreedomInfertility and Sterilization Overall, the series will center ethnographic and narrative approaches to exploring and understanding the health and aging experiences of marginalized populations. Recruitment of authors will focus strongly on amplifying the voices of scholars who themselves have experienced intersectional marginalization, and who engage those elements of their personal biography in scholarly activity.
