Ella Cohn-Schwartz, PhD

Head of the M.A. Gerontology Program, School of Public Health, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel

I study the changes in social networks in old age and their implications for mental health. I’m also interested in the social contexts of ageism and self-perceptions of aging and the effects of the social environment on cognitive aging.
