Older people in the countryside are vastly underresearched compared to those in urban areas. This innovative volume, the first projectbased book in the New Dynamics of Ageing series, offers a unique interdisciplinary perspective on this issue, focusing on older peoples role as assets in rural civic society. It demonstrates how the use of diverse methods from across disciplines aims to increase public engagement with this research. The authors examine the ways in which rural elders are connected to community and place, the contributions they make to family and neighbours, and the organisations and groups to which they belong. Highly topical issues around later life explored through these perspectives include older peoples financial security, leisure, access to services, transport and mobility, civic engagement and digital inclusion all considered within the rural context in an era of fiscal austerity. In doing so, this book challenges problembased views of ageing rural populations through considering barriers and facilitators to older peoples inclusion and opportunities for community participation in rural settings. Countryside Connections is a valuable text for students, researchers and practitioners with interests in rural ageing, civic engagement and interdisciplinary methods, theory and practice.
