A faculty-led travel experience, the three credit Global Health Aging in Japan course explores and analyzes how broader cultural norms and social institutions of contemporary Japan shape individuals’ experiences of growing older, life-stage transitions, and intergenerational relations through a life course perspective.

The course is informed by an interdisciplinary gerontological approach integrating visits to and engagement with academic, business, health and medical, policy and socio-cultural sites in Japan. Students will participate in a two-week faculty-led travel experience in Japan during the summer, tentatively scheduled for June 8-22, 2024.
