Research and Evaluation at Philadelphia Corporation for
Aging[/caption] Dr. Glicksman's research interests can be divided
into three categories. The first category is examining the lives of
older persons in the city of Philadelphia. This research focuses on
issues of health, gender, ethnicity and class and the ways in which
these domains interact in the lives of older persons. This research
now focuses on neighborhoods and social capital. The second
category is the evaluation of programs and services designed to
enhance the lives of older Philadelphians. This work focuses
primarily on the programs and services offered by PCA. Finally, Dr.
Glicksman has an ongoing research agenda focused on the lives of
older refugees. This research has ranged from work on access and
barriers to social and health services (along with Professor
Strumpf) to examining the experience of refugees who are also
trauma survivors in long term care settings. He also serves as
co-chair of PCA’s Ethics Committee.
