Socialisation towards homeownership during childhood has been proposed as one transmission channel of homeownership across generations in previous literature, but tests of this socialisation hypothesis are scarce. This study presents the yet most rigorous test of the socialisation hypothesis using retrospective life-history data (SHARELIFE, N=19,567 individuals) from 13 European countries. Even...

We present results from a multi-generational study of collocated group console gaming.

Our findings highlight the extent to which existing gaming technologies are amenable to interactions wi...

Using data from the 1993 wave of the Survey of Health and Living Status of the Elderly in Taiwan, we examine the extent to which adult children and their aging paren...

This article examines the tendencies of LGBT intergenerational theater projects. By engaging with ideas of queer time, temporal drag, and the pervasive heteronormative imagery of heritability and inheritance, this article explores the possibility that LGBT intergenerational projects may generate some of the problems they aim to challenge. Through the lens of queer time, the article describes th...
