Description
This volume represents a new name and a new focus for its predecessor,
Current Perspectives on Aging and the Life Cycle (volumes
1-4). We begin our new series, now titled
Advances in Life Course Research, with volume 5. Its statement of purpose is
the
publication of theoretical analyses, reviews, policy analyses and positions, and theory-based empirical papers on issues involving all
aspects of the human life course. It adopts a broad conception of the life course, and invites and welcomes contributions from all
disciplines and fields of study interested in understanding, describing, and predicting the antecedents of and consequences for the course
that human lives take from birth to death, within and across time and cultures (construed in its broadest sense), regardless of methodology,
theoretical orientation, or disciplinary affiliation.
