Addressing Ageism
A Conversation with author and speaker Ashton Applewhite.
Friday, November 8, 2024 from 11:00 am - 11:45 am CST
About the Event
From childhood on, we’re barraged by messages that it’s sad to be old. That wrinkles are embarrassing, and old people inept. Author and activist Ashton Applewhite believed them too, until she figured out where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does.
Join us for a fireside conversation with Applewhite to explore the roots of ageism—in society and in our own age denial—and how it divides and diminishes us.
An internationally recognized expert on ageism, Ashton Applewhite is the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism, voice of Yo, Is This Ageist?, and a co-founder of the Old School Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse. She speaks widely at venues that have included the United Nations and the TED mainstage, and is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and make age a criterion for diversity. In 2022 the United Nations named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older.
