Description: Aging is not only reserved for humans. Similarly, how humans age is often a process in which other-than-humans - be it other species or technology - become entangled or carved out. The contributions to this edited volume open a conversation about how aging is always a hybrid, more-than-human process.

Review Quotes: "From the companion species and robotic seals found in care homes to the never-aging and sacrificial animals populating laboratories, the contributors to More-than-Human Aging make the compelling demand that our understandings of aging reach beyond humanity. A timely and important contribution."--Gregory Hollin "Wellcome Trust research fellow, University of Sheffield"
