Life
Course Studies
David I. Kertzer and
David L. Featherman, series editors
A broad interdisciplinary spectrum of inquiry into the nature
of human timetables and biographies. The series integrates a
sophisticated appreciation for the biological life-cycle with
an equally well-articulated conception of socially structured
life timetables. It is this biocultural life course that provides
the context for studies of childhood, adolescence, adulthood,
and old age as historically discrete life periods. Thus, the
series aspires to encompass the works on life periods as well
as on the life course as a whole, on life-span human development,
and on aging.
