The workshop will be facilitated by Maura Conry, lecturer and consultant in the study of ageism, and instructor Jennifer Lacy.

Participants will learn what ageism is, how people experience ageism and stereotypes and how to fight ageism. The workshop is designed to be interactive with a brief presentation and then discussion. Participants will be asked to share stories about experiences with ageism and how they were impacted.

Ageism is something that everyone who lives a certain length of time will encounter.
