How has age and ageing been seen over time? And how did society treat older people? This week, we do a deep dive into the experience of elderly people in history. In some cases, they were venerated elders and grandparents. In others, they were marginalised and treated poorly. How has this changed over time, and how did people react to their own ageing? We explore all this and more this week!
