Intersections of Ageing and Disability during the COVID-19 Pandemic- DEADLINE EXTENDED
Dr Bethany Simmonds (Aberystwyth University) and Dr Maria Berghs (de Montfort University) are editing a special issue entitled 'Intersections of Ageing and Disability during the COVID-19 Pandemic' in Frontiers in Sociology. Please do consider putting in an abstract - the has been extended to the 1st of October.

This Research Topic is calling for papers which discuss both the intersections and divergences of experiences and representations of both older people and disabled groups in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are interested in receiving both empirical papers, those drawing on secondary data, and opinion pieces. The topics which are included in the scope of this call include: age discrimination; intergenerational ageism; disablism/ableism; intersectional analysis of age and disability experiences; approaches to age and disability which intersect with racism and/or sexism; novel sociological framings of ageing and/or disability; cross-cultural analysis of ageism and/or disablism; crip-time; issues arising from different conceptualisations of disability across disciplines and across the lifespan, the impact of social policy analyses of COVID-19 on older people, people with chronic health conditions and disabled people.
