How is disability affected by ageing and how can we develop an understanding of the subjective experiences of disability in older age?
Dr Ann Leahy explores these questions in her new book Disability and Ageing – Towards a Critical Perspective. Published by Policy Press, the book features in the Ageing in a Global Context series in association with the British Society of Gerontology, addressing broad cross-cutting issues around ageing in a global society.
In this episode, Ann chats with Colette Bennett about this important topic and policies to be brought forward to ensure a quality of life for all.
