| Summary: | <p>This article explores the interplay of inequality, space
and age(ing) from an intersectional perspective. It argues, that a spatial
research methodology is most fruitful in order to include age(ing) in
debates on intersectionality and inequality. Drawing on geographical
gerontology and inequality research, we scrutinize the research gap at the
intersection of these fields: While age is a neglected factor in
intersectional debates on inequality, questions of power are hardly
addressed by geographical gerontology. To bridge this research gap, we
propose space as methodological perspective. By showing how the negotiation
of age(ing) varies in different spatial settings, the article emphasises the
value of spatial approaches to analyse the two faces of age(ing) – age as a
marker of difference and ageing as a process. On a larger scale, the article
points to the potential of a spatial methodology to approach the complexity
of intersectionality.</p> |
