Aging, place, and the life course of societies
Clinical geography: A commentary response
Clinical geography motivates health and human geography theory and methods growth. • Investigating individual experiences can deepen understanding of structural causes. • Personal geographic intervention may advance clinical practices to embrace place. • Clinical geography could attract students, expand departments, and enlarge funding. • Dialog and debate are needed to create a valuable and viable clinical geography
College students’ perceptions of “old people” compared to “grandparents”
College students are poised to take on important leadership roles in society, and as such, it is vital that they understand the interests and needs of people throughout the life course and that they do not harbor ageist believes that may play out in the policies they enact, the services they provide, or the products they create. Many college students have little exposure or interaction with older adults aside from family members such as grandpare…
Clinical geography: A proposal to embrace space, place and wellbeing through person-centered practice
This essay envisions how geography can operationalize nuanced understandings of space and place to enrich the lives of individuals across the lifespan. We propose a focused integration of geography into person-centered practice: a clinical geography dedicated to working directly with people to promote optimal physical and mental health outcomes and wellbeing. Our proposal integrates spatial modifications to facilitate access and utility, behavior…
Photographic manipulation in the health, clinical and biomedical sciences
Photography has become a pervasive component of contemporary communication. Recent technological advances in creating and manipulating images have provided renewed impetus to decades-long debates on use of photographs in science. With increase in the potential for inappropriate image manipulation, fears about misrepresentation have heightened concern among journal editors and scholars about the 'accuracy' of published images. We discuss how scien…

Geographical Perspectives on Human Development
Recent studies in humanistic geography employing experiential methodology are generating fresh hypotheses regarding the development of environmental experience at both ends of the life span. Two of these studies, Hart’s analysis of preadolescent children and Rowles’ exploration of inner city elderly, are described. Both studies reveal important themes within this emergent research school, including a holistic multidimensional perspective on exper…
Place in occupational science: A life course perspective on the role of environmental context in the quest for meaning
The ultimate focus of each human life is a search for meaning. Building on the perspective of Victor Frankl, I suggest that this involves four overlapping domains: achieving a sense of worth through occupation, experiencing fulfillment through interpersonal relationship, exercising the ability to choose one's course of action, and, through the process of simply "being," developing understanding and acceptance of one's place in the cosmos. At diff…

Returning Home: The Interstate Transportation of Human Remains
Many people who die in the United States are transported across state boundaries for burial at a place viewed as “home” by the decedent or the next of kin. This article employs an analysis of data from death certificates to explore the transportation of human remains from Arizona where, in 1983, 17.1 percent of those who died were shipped beyond the state. A sample of 783 removals reveals a predominant geographical pattern of flows to the Upper M…
A Final Journey: Post‐death Removal of Human Remains
The Rural Elderly and the Church
The growing numbers of rural elderly in America has resulted in a burgeoning of research on this constituency. Such research has identified information on the living cirumstances of rural elderly as well as on the advantages and disadvantages of the rural milieu as a context for aging. Research has also demonstrated the central role which religion and the church play for the rural elderly, and it is iwth this knowledge that the church must expand…
