Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

1. Get insight into forefront aging research of different disciplines
2. Compare, relate and discuss perception of aging from different research disciplines
3. Reflect on limitations of mono-disciplinary understanding of aging mechanisms


Content
Within the research fields, molecular biology, physiology, social sciences and humanities, the process of aging is a very active research subject. Each of the research disciplines have their own unique view on aging, but also limitations to the extent that the phenomenon can be studied. With this course, the student will be introduced to the forefront research with these four research disciplines, and will through discussion, actively relate different aspects of age perception to get a deeper understanding of aging mechanisms.
