Short Courses on Ageing and Ethics

The first course on The Ethics of Families in Ageing Societies explores the ethical aspects of the important role that the family unit plays in an ageing society.  Learners will examine how family values intersect with societal norms, and the variety of roles of the family in the health and social care of the elderly person.

The second course on The Ethics of Communities and Cultures in Ageing explores the ethical aspects of the role of the community and culture in an ageing society.  Learners will examine the interplay between ethics and different sets of cultural values, and consider how changing cultural norms impact the life of the elderly person.

These courses are led by an educator with extensive teaching and research experience in the areas of ageing and end-of-life, and will be delivered through a combination of recorded lectures and ‘live’ online sessions.
