Question

1. Intersectionality is defined as a methodology of studying the relationships along multiple axes of identity. Offer two specific examples from this week's readings which demonstrate why this methodology is important to examining the aging experience of today's older adults. Will this also be true of future cohorts of older adults? 2. Jeopardy is defined as a multiple-hierarchy threat positing that stratification based on age, race/ethnicity, gender, and/or social class interact with one another to potentially put female minorities in old age at risk of poor quality of life. Offer two examples from this week's readings which illustrate the concept of triple jeopardy. Which of these variables, if any, do you believe are a greater threat to the quality of life for older adults? Do you think sexual orientation should be added to this definition? Culture?
