摘要

In this article we reflect on the question, what role age plays in its intersection with other categories of difference such as gender or social class. The article examines this question and presents both theoretical and empirical considerations on the intersectional interweaving of ‘age’ with other categories of difference. We focus on the conceptual foundations of un/doing difference and un/doing age and argue for understanding practices of human differentiation not only as intersectionally intertwined, but also as situational, situated, and relational. This has implications not only for new scientific forms but also practical reflexivity in social work. We will examine these using empirical examples from a form of housing for young adults supported by social work. Finally, with the “Linking Ages” research program, we present a way to make implicit age norms and stereotypes visible, question them and thus counteract age discrimination at every age.
