Biographical
Sketch
Dr.
Glicksman's gerontological interests can be divided into
three categories. The first category is examining the
lives of older persons in the city of Philadelphia. This
research focuses on issues of health, gender, ethnicity
and class and the ways in which these domains interact
in the lives of older persons. The second category is
the evaluation of programs and services designed to enhance
the lives of older Philadelphians. This work focuses
primarily on the programs and services offered by PCA.
Finally, Dr. Glicksman has an ongoing research agenda
focused on the lives of older refugees. This research
has ranged from work on access and barriers to social
and health services (along with Professor Strumpf) to
examining the experience of refugees who are also trauma
survivors in long term care settings.
