Eldercare, Health, and Ecosyndemics in a Perilous World

Using the theoretical framework of Singer's Syndemics, Christensen explores how aging bodies are more vulnerable to increased environmental toxins, which is further exacerbated by climate fluctuations. A central question is: how do we value our environment, our elders, and make decisions about well-being throughout the life course?
