Maggie Kuhn, leader of the Gray Panthers once said, “Old age is not a disease- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.” Prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of someone’s age, or ageism, is deep-rooted in U.S. culture, media, and workplaces. This class will delve into the history of ageism and anti-ageism activism in the United States. We will explore how ageism affects people of all ages and how to combat it. (3 contact hours)
