GERONTOLOGY AS A DISCIPLINE

R. D. Bramwell • Educational Gerontology (1985)

This paper discusses four well‐attested criteria by which a given “subject area” might be judged to be or not to be an “academic discipline.” What can be said of “gerontological studies” under each of these criteria? In what ways might “ger...
