Based on lifelong data drawn from the iconic Berkeley Guidance Study, Living on the Edge tells the story of the rarely studied 1900 generation as they navigated a century of revolutionary change. Most surprising is how relevant and relatable the lives and experiences of this generation are today, despite the gap of a century. From the reorganization of marriage and family roles and relationships to strategies for adapting to a dramatically changing economy, the challenges faced by this earlier generation echo our own time. The book offers an intimate glimpse into not just the history of the United States, but the feelings, dreams, and fears of a generation remarkably kindred to the present day.
Dr. Glen H. Elder, Jr. is a prominent figure in the development of life course theory, methods, and research and Dr. Rick Settersten is a specialist in life-course studies, with expertise spanning adolescence, adulthood, and aging. For this colloquium, we have the opportunity to hear them speak briefly about the research that culminated in the book,Living on the Edge, and then have an interactive discussion.
