A film exploring the ways in which people working in the field of ageing do – or don’t – define themselves as gerontologists. Participants also consider the ways in which gerontology itself is defined; whether it is best thought of as a field or a discipline; and the strengths and weaknesses of its multi and interdisciplinary nature.
