Description:

This course delves into the dynamics of ageism and its cultural implications, providing professionals, researchers, and advocates with the insights and skills needed to address age-related bias within diverse societal contexts. Participants will explore the historical roots of ageism, how it intersects with other social identities, and the varied cultural perspectives on aging worldwide. Through engaging sessions on stigma, intersectionality, and cultural competence, the course equips participants to challenge ageist narratives, foster inclusivity, and drive systemic change in their fields. Emphasis is placed on understanding ageism’s impact on health, psychology, and policy, while promoting approaches that celebrate and support aging across all populations.
