Having briefly described in Chapter 1 how the 50 gerontologists came to participate in the project, as well as some of the threads that connect them, this chapter presents a series of individual pen portraits. These portraits are not, in any sense, meant to be formal biographies or CVs, or the kind of profile that might appear on institutional web pages. Instead, the aim is to provide readers with more of an insight into who these 50 British gerontologists are than might be gleaned simply from using selected quotations from their interviews to illustrate the themes and issues discussed in subsequent chapters. In this sense, the portraits are the individual and personal contexts for what follows. Up to three references at the end of each portrait are also included to enable readers to follow up work that participants are known for. These publications and resources were sometimes mentioned in interview as things of which people are proud, or feel are important. Others were sent subsequently in response to a request for such information, or have been added by us as authors.
