Two new\ndissertations<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the past year, another two doctoral\nstudents within the SIA project have finished their theses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Else Foverskov<\/a> successfully defended her doctoral thesis \u201cSocial Inequality in Cognitive Ageing\u201d supervised by Rikke Lund. Her thesis focused on how socioeconomic conditions are associated with later life level and change in cognitive ability through a life course perspective, primarily examining the role of early life cognitive ability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Harpa Sif Eyj\u00f3lfsd\u00f3ttir<\/a> also successfully defended her doctoral thesis \u201cUnequal tracks? Studies on work, retirement and health\u201d supervised by Carin Lennartsson. Harpa investigated how health and socioeconomic status influence age of retirement, and in turn, if and how prolonged working life can affect health in later life for different socioeconomic groups. Link to interview with Harpa<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Else\u2019s and Harpa\u2019s studies contribute to the\nSIA project\u2019s aim of elucidating how social inequalities in important life\ncourse processes and transitions influence health and functioning at late\nmidlife and in older ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The fact that the SIA programme has made these two eminent theses possible, as well as quite many earlier, is in my mind the main achievement of the programme and a key aspect for capacity building within social ageing research”, says PI Johan Fritzell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two new dissertations During the past year, another two doctoral students within the SIA project have finished their theses.
