Abstract

Research on migration in older age has been flourishing during the recent years. However, motives and experiences related to love, sexuality and intimacy are still a sensitive desideratum in older-age migration research. The Special Section approaches this gap and encourages interdisciplinary research to further contribute to this field. We argue that older-age migration and sexuality are closely linked concepts that deserve nuanced attention across the broad social sciences themes of inequality, inclusion and self-expression and across diverse geographies.
