Welcome to the New Generations! |

A Note from Leanne Clark-Shirley, PhD Dear Readers, On behalf of the American Society on Aging, I am excited to invite you to visit our new publications platform, Generations. This is your new, one-stop site to find each of the publications for which ASA has always been known. Generations offers more than our print publications could. Articles and posts are now easily sharable, and more interactive. Visit to listen to our new podcast, Generations Bylines, where we lift ideas off of the page and bring the voice of authors to our members. Over time, we’ll be working on integrating graphics, sound, animation, and artistic expression to complement the rich narrative you’ve come to expect. Amid this change, we want you to know that we remain committed to bringing timely news, in-depth research, and thoughtful perspectives to ASA’s members. As we launch this new site, we’re pleased to release the Summer 2020 Generations Journal, and the July-August edition of Generations Today (formerly titled Aging Today). Guest-edited by Alisha Sanders of LeadingAge, the Journal explores the critical topic of housing—a topic made all the more pressing by the COVID-19 pandemic. Read Sanders’ piece, Housing: Often Overlooked but a Critical Pillar for Older Adults, to learn how housing policies and programs intersect with equity across the life course. Jennifer Molinsky and Christopher Herbert offer an especially thorough look at older adults’ housing circumstances in Can the Nation’s Housing Support a Population Seeking to Age in Place? In Generations Today, David Lindeman sets an agenda for work to be done in The promise of technology for older adults: ephemeral or essential? And don’t miss Kathy Greenlee’s fact-check on Overcoming the 'silver tsunami.’ On behalf of everyone who worked on Generations, we can’t wait for you to visit and explore the new site. We want your feedback as we finalize its design and functionality, so please spend some time looking around, and tell us what you think in a short survey linked on the site.
Regards, Leanne Clark-Shirley, PhD |
