Episode 16: Language and its role in promoting ageism
Are we all secretly ageist? Shiv and Sim dissect some relatively recent articles examining the language that we use around aging and older adults and how it may promote ageism in society. In doing so, they realize that they may have used some of this language themselves... For instance, did you know that the terms "seniors" and the "elderly" can be considered ageist? Join them to learn about several studies on ageist language and learn a little more about elements of the ageist lexicon.
