[Webinar] Through the Looking Glass: Examining the Intersectionality of Ageism

The North America Regional Committee (NARC) of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG), in partnership with the Canadian Coalition Against Ageism (CCAA), is pleased to co-host Through the Looking Glass: Examining the Intersectionality of Ageism.

The impact of ageism on older adults has never been clearer, with the increased expression of age bias both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. In this webinar, the pervasive nature of ageism will be highlighted, with particular consideration of how the intersection of other identities (e.g., race, gender) influence expressions and experiences of ageism. This webinar will examine manifestations of ageism in ageist group labels and beauty standards and also investigate ways to challenge ageist comments. Taken together, this webinar will shed light on the multifaceted nature of ageism in North American society and offer valuable insights into strategies for combatting age bias.
