Working in contexts where sociology and social gerontology overlap, Higgs (U. College London) and Jones (Bangor U., Wales) came to realize that the two disciplines do not share a literature or pre-occupations. They write here to point out the divide to colleagues, and to help bridge it for themselves and others. They also respond to the rise of aging as an increasingly larger issue for social policy and its impact on the discussion about providing health services for the population as a whole. Their topics include medical sociology approaching old age, cultures of aging, sociology of the body and embodiment, feminist gerontology, bodily control, the arc of acquiescence, and second modernity and later life.
