Outlining the basic principles of a new academic field, Socio-gerontechnology, this book explores common \u003ci\u003econceptual, theoretical and methodological ideas \u003c\/i\u003ethat become visible in the critical scholarship on ageing and technology at the intersection of Age Studies and Science and Technology Studies (STS).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComprised of 15 original chapters, three commentaries and an afterword, the book explores how ageing and technology are already interconnected and constantly being intertwined in Western societies. Topics addressed cover a broad variety of socio-material domains, including care robots, the use of social media, ageing-in-place technologies, the performativity of user involvement and public consultations, dementia care and many others.
