Working through Ageing

Reviews / Votes

"Thoroughly researched and highly informative, this book provides a wealth of insights on how ex-hedge fund workers experience ageing, and more generally how our organizational lives are affected by ageing and its absent-presence." Andrew D. Brown, University of Bath "None of us is getting any younger, yet the very experience of ageing at work is often left in silence. In this extraordinary opus, Kathleen Riach shows us how existential questions of life and death are embodied and enacted in the everyday lives of ageing professionals." Torkild Thanem, Stockholm University "Pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of ageing in the workplace, revealing how ageing is actively done in relation with and through our colleagues, teams, and institutions. Thoughtful, rigorous, and deeply human, this is a vital and timely contribution to scholarship on ageing, embodiment, and the social self", Richard A. Settersten, Jr., Oregon State University





"With enviable clarity, this book ensures we acquire the richest possible grasp of the paradoxical process of ageing in the workplace. Essential reading for everyone concerned with the interconnected vulnerabilities of the human condition", Lynne Segal, author of Out of Time: The Pleasures & Perils of Ageing and Professor emerita of Birkbeck, University of London
