Affiliate faculty members make important contributions to The Gerontology Institute's teaching, research, practice, and service activities. Drawn from a wide variety of disciplines, they are a diverse group of scholars. Yet, their interest in the study of aging is a commonality. The many faculty members, who currently serve as affiliates, participate in interdisciplinary research teams, teach classes cross-listed with Gerontology, mentor our Masters-level students, and share in the governance of the Institute. To find out about our current affiliate faculty members, please see below. If you are a Georgia State University faculty member who is interested in becoming affiliated with the Gerontology Institute, please read our affiliate invitation or contact Dr. Elisabeth Burgess at eburgess@gsu.edu
