Another title: Aging, the Aged and Leisure: A Sociological and Social Psychological Perspective, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).

Employing a sociological and psychological frame of reference, the process and problems of aging are analyzed. Special emphasis will be given to the problems of leisure time in the later years of life. (Same as Kin 352 and Rec 361).

Prereq: Soc 101 and one other Sociology course
