Ageism: The Newest Bias

In this episode, we tackle one of society's most pervasive yet often overlooked issues: ageism. We delve deep into how ageism manifests in our society and its profound impact on individuals and communities. Joining host Vince Poscente are four distinguished guests who bring their unique perspectives and expertise to the discussion:

Ashton Applewhite: An activist and author of "This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism," Ashton highlights the pervasive damage ageism inflicts and challenges us to reconsider our biases.

Louise Aronson, M.D.: A leading geriatrician, professor at the University of California, San Francisco, and author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist "Elderhood," Dr. Aronson discusses the intersection of ageism with other forms of discrimination and the implications for older individuals.

Julie Ober Allen: An assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma, Julie's research focuses on the health implications of ageism and how negative stereotypes affect older adults' mental and physical well-being.

Michelle Hough: An acclaimed HR professional, Michelle provides insights into how age discrimination impacts the workplace and the value of leveraging the experience of senior employees.

Together, they explore how stereotypes and biases shape our views on aging, the health consequences of ageism, and the critical need for societal and workplace reforms. Listen to learn about the realities of aging, the importance of dismantling ageist attitudes, and how we can create a more inclusive world for people of all ages.

Join us on "Perspectives Matter - Ageism: The Newest Bias" as we challenge the norms and uncover the truth about ageism.
