A Conversation with Internationally Recognized Expert on Ageism, Ashton Applewhite

Ashton Applewhite is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and make age a criterion for diversity. An internationally recognized expert on ageism, Ashton is the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and a co-founder of the Old School Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse. She speaks widely at venues that have included the United Nations and delivered an inspirational talk on ageism (one of the best TED Talks I have ever heard) on the TED mainstage. In 2022, the United Nations named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older.

In this episode, Ashton shares strategies to combat ageism, how to address it within ourselves and to advocate for change. She acknowledges the intersectionality of prejudices and biases, and helps us all expand our perspectives.

Learn more at the links below about this extraordinary activist, author and speaker who is changing the dialogue on age. Consider joining one of the anti-ageism and consciousness raising gatherings Ashton spearheads, including weekly discussion groups and the first in-person event focused on ageism and how to undo it, August 17-19, in Montreal, which is called Summer School 2024.
