Dr Deborah L. Mulligan is an Honorary Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. Her research interests include lifelong education, education research ethics, educator and researcher identities, and older men and suicide ideation.

‘The Lost Boys offers a useful and comprehensive overview of the challenges that older men face in the early 21st century, especially as shifting aging demographics and related resource restraints problematize this population’s capacity to meet fundamental self needs. Deborah Mulligan effectively frames these issues by drawing upon core “threads” from the adult learning, gerontology, and human development literature. The extent to which women are invited to join sheds—and the ramifications that unfold as a result—comprises a valuable exploration that is distinctively foregrounded in this work’.

Marginalisation of Older Men: The Lost Boys focuses on the phenomenon of the marginalisation of older men and the impact of gendered ageing as a pathologic disorder leading to suicide ideation, rather than a celebratory state. In this engaging investigation,Deborah Mulligan explains why and how some older men have become marginalised in society, and the effects of this social isolation. The book offers effective and unique methods for researching marginalised groups and individuals to maximise innovativeness, reciprocity and utility for research participants. Mulligan skilfully articulates and communicates the hitherto unheard voices of older males. These voices represent a vital element in the mitigation of loneliness, social isolation and suicide. The lived experience of these individual men and their peers provides vital health information for older men in both contemporary and future society.
