Research on Baby Boomer Women with Disabilities in Retirement
The study is entitled: The Wellbeing of Baby Boomer Women with Disabilities in Retirement. We hope to gain an in-depth understanding of critical disability perspectives on “retirement” and baby boomer women’s experiences of health and wellbeing, including their support networks. We hope to explore how social discourses of “successful ageing” affect their identities, managing their health, wellbeing, and disability in retirement.

You are invited to take part in a research study exploring health, wellbeing, and support networks in retirement.
