EPISODE 2 features an interview with Dr. Jessica Robbins, Assistant Professor at the Institute of Gerontology and Department of Anthropology at Wayne State University. As a medical and sociocultural anthropologist, she studies how individuals' experiences of aging--especially of health and illness--are part of broader social, cultural, political, economic, and historical processes. Elizabeth and Jessica discuss aging in contemporary Poland, where dramatic transformations have profoundly impacted the lives of the country's oldest generations.
