Gay Men’s Working Lives, Retirement and Old Age

Peter Robinson is Senior Lecturer in History and Sociology at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia.

“A major strength of the work is the combination of scholarly theoretical analysis and empirical research with practical questions that have potential to contribute to more effective practice, advocacy, and policy and program development for professionals. … The book is also a useful resource for students. Theoretical and empirical investigations of sexual diversity can help students exercise leadership as they emerge into the social work profession.” (Linda Briskman, Australian Social Work, February 26, 2019)“This book is important because it highlights the necessity of considering intersectional identities within trans communities. … highly recommended for researchers, social workers, clinicians, and community activists who work with older gay and trans populations, or for anyone who wants to educate themselves on the lived realities of queer elders.” (Christine Smith, The Gerontologist, Vol. 59 (1), 2019)
