This will be a discussion post for my doctoral aging and diversity class. You must support your response with at least two new peer-reviewed articles, but can also cite any of the provided resources. For this particular assignment, using using Mehrota, Chandra and Wagner, Lisa. (2009). Aging and diversity 2nd ed. New York: Routledge.
Ch. 1 & Dilworth-Anderson, P. & Boswell, G. respond to the following topic:
What does “diversity” mean and why should we care about issues related to diversity in our work as gerontologists? Discuss the difference between diversity and heterogeneity? What are the main domains of diversity as discussed by Mehrota and Wagner as compared to Dilworth- Anderson and Boswell? Note: cite the provided sources in addition to at least 2 scholarly, peer-reviewed articles.
The expectation for satisfactory work is 500 – 750 words per topic with at least 3 current peer reviewed references utilized. Textbooks, blogs, magazine or internet articles, book chapters, or special reports, do not count toward the peer-reviewed minimum. Connections to the peer reviewed references should be used throughout your writing with in-text citations and matching reference citations.
I have attached recommended resources to elaborate on the assignment expectations. Make sure to provide substantial evidence from scholarly resources and refrain from making generalized statements. Textbooks, blogs, magazine or internet articles, book chapters, or special reports, do not count toward scholarly resources.
