This book is a fantastic resource, richly inclusive of voices often not heard within queer scholarship. While exposing the ongoing inequalities and backlashes faced by older LGBTQI+ people, it is also a joyous celebration of the transformative potential of queer communities. It is essential reading to help understand inclusive futures. -- Kathryn Almack, University of Hertfordshire, UK A beautiful, uplifting, and important book by an international group of scholars offering nuanced, phenomenological, poignant, and deeply generative understandings of queer aging material and immaterial. A Research Agenda for Queer Aging invites the reader in and delivers outstanding critical queer scholarship, policy relevant research, and important framings of later life and memories - past, present and future present as sites of becoming, joy, and resistance. Compulsory reading! -- Maggie ONeill, University of Cork, Ireland This exciting and timely Research Agenda challenges the normative and discriminatory processes faced by older queer people, providing theoretically innovative contributions which foreground a rich diversity of lived experience. This book will be of interest to policy makers, practitioners and academics across a range of fields, and of course people who are older and/or queer. -- Surya Monro, Loughborough University, UK Very much needed!!! This book challenges ageism and cis-heteronormativity by foregrounding LGBTQI+ ageing as lived, embodied, and politically situated. Through memory, care, and resistance, it disrupts linear life-course narratives and opens space for more just, diverse, and livable queer futures in later life. -- Lucas Platero, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain 'This Research Agenda reveals just how much we can learn from queer ageing. Affirming the value of community, intergenerational ties and late life experiences as new forms of becoming or resistance, these culturally situated yet inclusive chapters impressively expand the horizon of everyone interested in the crucial topic of ageing. -- Lynne Segal, Professor Emerita, Birkbeck, University of London, UK This pathbreaking volume lays out a comprehensive agenda for understanding LGBTQ+ aging. By highlighting similarities and differences facing queer people across different national contexts, it offers a roadmap for understanding and addressing their needs as they age. A vital resource for researchers, activists, and policy experts in this fast-growing but understudied area. -- Arlene Stein, Rutgers University, USA
