Notes on contributors

Kathryn Almack is Professor of Health and Family Lives in the School of Health and Social Work, University of Hertfordshire, UK. She is a sociologist whose research addresses family lives, health and well-being across the life course. In the past decade her work has had a substantial focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) older people, ageing and end of life care. She has completed a number of funded projects and published widely in this area. Findings from her research have been used to develop new resources for practitioners and policy makers. She is co-editor of Older Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans People: Minding the Knowledge Gaps (with Andrew King, Yiu-Tung Suen and Sue Westwood, 2018) and on the editorial board for the British Sociological Association journal Sociology. She is currently researching lesbian parenthood as part of a longitudinal qualitative research project.

Elham Amini completed her PhD in sociology of health and gender at Durham University, UK, in 2017. She has a BSc degree (midwifery) from Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran, and two Masters degrees: one in womens studies from Alzahra University, Iran, and the other in sociology and social research methods from Durham University. Her work focuses on the gendered and sexual experiences of Iranian Muslim menopausal women through a life history biographical narrative approach and by highlighting menopause, ageing, notions of the body, and medicalisation in relation to sexuality and gender, articulates womens understanding of and from their menopausal bodies.

Elizabeth Barry is Associate Professor in English at the University of Warwick, UK. She is the author of Beckett and Authority (2006), and has edited issues of International Journal of Cultural Studies (2008), Journal of Beckett Studies (2008), and Journal of Medical Humanities (2016). Her interests lie in and between modernist narrative, performance, medicine and ageing. She has held two Arts and Humanities Research Council grants to work with doctors and healthcare providers, using literature and performance to investigate ageing, illness and mental health.

Toni Calasanti is Professor of Sociology at Virginia Tech, USA, where she is also a faculty affiliate of both the Center for Gerontology and Womens and Gender Studies. Her research on the intersections of age, gender and social inequalities has appeared in several journals in aging and sociology as well as in the books Gender, Social Inequalities, and Aging (co-edited with Kathleen F. Slevin, 2001), Age Matters: Re-Aligning Feminist Thinking (co-edited with Kathleen F. Slevin, 2006) and Nobodys Burden: Lessons from the Great Depression on the Struggle for Old-Age Security (co-edited with Ruth. E. Ray, 2011). Recent explorations of the intersectional approach and of age, gender and sexuality appear in the Handbook of Theories of Aging (2009, 2nd ed) and the Routledge Handbook of Cultural Gerontology (2015), which lay the foundation for her present research on same-sex partner caregiving.

Raffaella Ferrero Camoletto is Associate Professor in Sociology of Culture at the Department of Cultures, Politics and Society, University of Turin, Italy. Her research focuses on two main areas: body, gender and space in emerging urban sports and critical perspectives on masculinities and (hetero)sexualities, with a specific focus on the social impact of Viagra. She is currently working on the research project Ageless sexuality? Intersecting positive/active ageing and the medicalization of sexuality. Among her recent publications: (with C. Barrett and E. Wentzell) Challenging the viagratization of heterosexuality and ageing, in C. Barrett, S. Hinchliff (eds),
