The TETRAS research unit at the University of Lorraine (Nancy), through its thematic cluster TAGES (‘Existential Transitions, Age, Gender and Health’), brings together mainly sociologists and anthropologists studying the issue of ageing, particularly in relation to health. The team approaches age as a social relationship, interacting with other social relationships that structure contemporary societies (gender, class and race). TETRAS will host researchers from Pagens who are undergoing training in audiovisual methods (WP2), health issues (WP4) and age norms (WP6).
