At the completion of the course, students will write a summary of their assessment of an issue they find interesting or important regarding what they have learned about aging and the lives of older adults in the context of a major city in Latin America (approximately 1,000-2,000 words). The summary paper should cite at least two of the readings and two of the lectures but can be on any topic of their choosing that was discussed during the course.
