Luisa Bischoff studied Sociology at Goethe-University in Frankfurt and terminated with a master\u2019s degree. For her doctoral project she will examine the \u201ctransition into being single in older age\u201d. She is especially interested in the influence of interdependent social inequalities on this transition as well as individual coping strategies, ergo the doing of the transition. Regarding how this familial transition in old age is shaped individually and mediated through social structure the project contributes to the research training group on the individual level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming Single in Older Age. Doing Transitions into Singlehood from an Intersectional Perspective. <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Developments summarized under the term demographic change depict old age as being a mostly negative life stage. Empirically observed developments, like the pluralisation of living arrangements among the elderly and no significant increase in the proportion of loneliness, even a decrease in social isolation in old age, draw a more positive image of ageing in Germany. These ambiguous developments raise questions on how the transition into becoming single in old age is being done within an increasingly ageing society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the transition from an intersectional life course perspective, the project examines how the transition into singlehood is being done on an individual level and framed on a structural level. It specifically focusses on the process of transiting into singlehood in older age (1), the influence and development of interdependent social inequalities (2), the individual attributions of meaning in non-institutionalized transitions (3) and the (re-)arrangement of basal every-day life and practices (4).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Methodologically, a mixed methods approach will be applied. Based on the German Ageing Survey (1996-2017) longitudinal analysis \u2013 namely sequence analysis and panel regressions \u2013 is being conducted, while qualitative in-depth interviews will be analysed using qualitative content analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project aims to shed light on the transition of becoming single in older age in Germany on a descriptive level, to attempt using the mixed-methods approach for transitional research on a methodological level and to contribute to how late familial transitions can be conceptualized with a combination of the life course and the intersectional perspective on a theoretical level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
