| Abstract | Every day in 2016, more than two Australian men aged over 50 took their lives, and more than one Australian man aged over 60 took his life. Contemporary ageing studies have focused predominantly on the needs of women, and younger and middle-aged men. Scant research has been conducted into ageing and the specific needs of marginalised older men. This chapter draws on information gleaned when researching for my PhD thesis. Relational links between the concepts of gender bias, research processes and older men are discussed. Some solutions to the ethical challenges of an older woman investigating retired older men in all-male environments such as Men’s Sheds and The Older Men’s Network (TOMNET) are presented. These solutions revolve around the notions of researcher reciprocity and situated ethics. |
