The Journal of Elder Policy invites submissions for a special issue focused on "Relationships in Later Life." As the global population continues to age, understanding the dynamics and impacts of relationships among older adults has become increasingly important. This special issue aims to explore a wide range of relationship dynamics in later life, including caregiving, intergenerational bonds, friendships, work connections, and other social and emotional connections.
We welcome submissions from researchers, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners that contribute to our understanding of relationships in later life and policies that relate to and foster these relationships. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Love and intimacy in later life
- Intergenerational relationships
- Social connectedness and support networks
- The importance of friendship networks
- Work and retirement; examining the implications of work-related relationships
- The role of caregiving relationships
Submission Guidelines: Authors interested in contributing to this issue should submit a 500-word abstract outlining the scope, methodology, key findings, and policy implications of their research. Abstracts should be submitted via email to Managing Editor, Dr. Kaitlyn Langendoerfer (kxb289@case.edu) by October 15. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.
