Longevity Project: A New Ageism? Fallout from the Pandemic
- This event has passed.
Ageism and the decline narrative of aging were around well before the pandemic started, but for some Americans, COVID-19 has spurred a greater sense of a zero-sum game between younger and older generations.
Please join us for a panel discussion to explore the public and media response to the pandemic and what it means for the perception of older Americans in civil society. The panelists, along with the moderator, Ken Stern, will discuss how society has been responding to the most vulnerable population during the coronavirus pandemic and what that means going forward.
Speakers:
Paul Irving is chairman of the Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging and distinguished scholar in residence at the University of Southern California Davis School of Gerontology.
Richard Eisenberg is Managing Editor of Next Avenue
Louise Aronson, MD, MFA Geriatrician and Professor of Medicine at UCSF Division of Geriatrics
Ken Stern is the Chair of the Longevity Project
This event is sponsored by the Longevity Project, in collaboration with the Stanford Center on Longevity.
