Let’s Learn: What is Elderhood?

Join us as we redefine aging and elderhood in our “Aging as Grief, Aging as Growth” series. Discover the shifting mindsets of getting older from expert panelists. In this lively panel discussion, speakers from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds provide new definitions of aging and elderhood. Leaning on their practice-based research and lived experiences, these experts in medicine, healing, art, and social innovation offer tools and strategies to help us change our own mindsets and ultimately shift how society values aging. Meet award-winning author and geriatrician Louise Aronson, M.D., a vocal critic of the ways in which our society and healthcare system neglect, stereotype, and mistreat older adults. Engage with Omisade Burney-Scott, founder of The Black Girl's Guide to Surviving Menopause and a leader in fostering healing spaces for non-binary, Black women, and femmes to share stories about life, aging, intimacy, pleasure, and vulnerability. Learn with Jeff Hamaoui, founding partner and Head of Education and Innovation at MEA, a school dedicated to helping you navigate midlife and beyond. And rock with June Millington: guitarist, music educator, and co-founder of the pioneering band Fanny. Topics include: Is elderhood an ending? A decline? Another stage of life with its own hardships, opportunities, and joys? How must medical systems change in order for us to age well throughout the arc of our life cycle? How can we transition effectively as our minds and bodies advance and decline? How can intergenerational exchange promote creativity and regeneration, especially for women and people of color?
