Four Types of Ageism: An Ageist Society Cannot Be An Age Friendly One

Dr. Bill Thomas will lead participants on a journey where they learn about the four types of ageism and explore how to develop communities that are free to rebalance, redesign and rediscover community living that embraces the exquisite arc of life that stretches from birth to adulthood and beyond to elderhood.

CoP note: Teaching adult learners includes teaching aging learners. Recognizing the signs of agism can help teachers and course leaders avoid micro-aggresive behaviors that are, or may be construed as, agist. Our University is dedicated to an inclusive environment that does not discriminate or harass community members based on age.
