<p>When we ponder about whether it is time to finish a degree start a family or retire we often draw on age to make an assessment: When are we too young or too old to do something – and what age is the right one? Age thereby is a central social category for Western societies: more than gender ethnicity or social status age affects our social position networks lifestyles and aspirations.</p><p>By asking what childhood and ageing research can learn from each other this edited volume brings both fields into a fruitful dialogue. It touches upon topics like theories and method(olog)ies space and time health and care technologies and digitalization play work and consumption as well as violence well-being and childrens’ and older peoples’ rights.</p><p>This volume will appeal to scholars and students interested in childhood studies and ageing studies/gerontology located in a range of disciplines from sociology to social work social and cultural anthropology educational sciences human geography architecture urban planning architecture health and disability studies nursing studies political sciences and law.</p>
