By drawing upon international, interdisciplinary experts, this special issue addresses the unique cultural influences, dimensions, and dynamic nature of conducting research with LGBT older adults and presents cutting-edge findings, conceptual frameworks, and practices, as well as a nuanced perspective on the strengths and challenges facing LGBT older adults in countries around the world.
We highlight the lessons learned across the varied international landscape from 6 continents, spanning 10 different countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Israel, Portugal, South Africa, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States as well as HIV across the globe. These special issues were edited by Karen Fredriksen-Goldsen and Brian de Vries.
We have developed an international network of scholars and researchers to share knowledge and experiences and collaborate in studying sexuality, gender, health (holistically), age, and longevity, as well as the impact of COVID-19 across diverse global communities.
