Ageism: Let's Get Out of Our Own Way

FREE & RECORDED. Times listed are Pacific Time.

Join us for a fascinating interview with one of the leading voices in the movement to dismantle ageism, Ashton Applewhite. Wake up to the ageist beliefs in and around us and embrace a more nuanced and accurate view of growing older. We’ll explore where these ageist beliefs come from, how they limit us, and how to push back, individually and collectively. Walk away with a better understanding of subtle ways that our internal ageist beliefs affect our well-being, and how to shift our thinking.

Ashton Applewhite, the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism, is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and make age a criterion for diversity. A co-founder of the Old School Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse, she speaks widely at venues including the TED mainstage and the United Nations. She has written for Harper’s, the Guardian, and the New York Times; has been recognized by the New York Times, the New Yorker, National Public Radio, and the American Society on Aging as an expert on ageism; and is the voice of Yo, Is This Ageist? In 2022 the United Nations named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world into a better place to grow older.
