Disrupt Ageism

VCU Gerontology, a social movement and academic program rolled into one mission: #DisruptAgeism

[VCU Graduate School @VCUGradSchool]

All of your hard work has led you to this day. Congratulations graduates! 🎓🐏 #VCU

Do you refer to olders as "them," not "us?" Even if you've got more road behind you than ahead? That "othering" is the root of all prejudice--in this case against our own future, older selves. https://t.co/IooJQdVImo

Today is the 300th day in our fiscal year. And this week, we reached a new record: the 300th program facilitated by VCIC staff since July 1. Thank you to the wonderful participants, partners, volunteers, and donors who work with us to advance inclusion and equity!

I'll be on the air today between IBM with Pro Publica's Peter Gosselin, who broke this important story. Call in! https://t.co/y6rx7TF7Bk

ProPublica estimates that in the past five years alone, @IBM has eliminated more than 20,000 American employees ages 40 and over. https://t.co/FthvRw0GHy via @ProPublica #ageism

Imagine a workplace where it doesn't matter what age you are to participate, where applicants don't have to hide when they graduated, or act, dress and answer questions in ways they think will make them seem younger and "more employable." #DiversityandInclusion #DiverseWorkforce

[Ashton Applewhite @thischairrocks]

Urgent and important piece about #ageism in the #workforce—in #tech in general and @IBM in particular. Thank you @ProPublica and @PeterGosselin! https://t.co/xqFslDfhUt

Yale's brilliant Becca Levy explains how #ageism harms our #health @WashingtonUniv on April 20. #stereotypes #cognition https://t.co/LJxlX2H0Uq

Why on earth should we be ashamed of waking up a day older? #ageism https://t.co/E5OvjhSSHG

@TLGendron The danger of a single story is that: “In showing a people as one thing, that’s what they become.” Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. #disruptageism #disruptstigma #disruptprejudice

Well said, Dr. G! Let's #disruptageism together. There are much better ways to celebrate 100 days of learning than by denigrating our elders. https://t.co/8IhixbFXZc

I wonder if the GOP will make Medicaid folks in nursing homes work. Or will they just cut the rates so low that nursing facilities will close? Missouri leads: https://t.co/72XedFQxky
