Diversity and “Successful Aging”: Exploring Intersectional and Existential Dimensions to Aging Well
The images and narratives presented here challenge the normative depictions of a good or successful old age constructed from the perspective of White and middle-class older adults. They add a diverse range of alternative depictions of aging well, which will be of help for clinicians and others in supporting diverse older people to flourish in conditions of health as well as frailty.
