Buzzing from this morning's class on ageism & age identities. Turns out everyone had a lot to say about voting ages, age and politics, citizenship, inclusion...and how Ursula K Le Guin helps us understand ageism and activism. A great way to begin to end a looooong week.

A great day at the #AgeingAsAdventure conference. I spoke about how ActiveInquiry, the Reimagining the Future in Older Age team and research participants used Forum Theatre to challenge oppressive narratives of the future in older age.

An excellent presentation on a wonderful novel. It really made me want to re-read Mr Loverman with the idea of #AgeingAsAdventure in mind.
