Why is society's view of aging so grim when the lived reality is so different? Anti-ageism activist and author Ashton Applewhite declares that it's time for age pride. A leading voice in an emerging movement dedicated to dismantling ageism, Applewhite was named PBS Next Avenue's 2016 Influencer of the Year, and has been recognized by The New York Times, NPR and the American Society on Aging as an expert on ageism. A TED2017 mainstage speaker, Applewhite reveals the untapped possibilities of late life – in our communities, at work and in ourselves.
FREE copies of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism by Ashton Applewhite will be available beginning March 19 at the A&L Ticket Office (UCSB bldg. 402) and the Santa Barbara Central Library (40 E Anapamu St.). Books available while supplies last.
