The University of Regina Centre on Aging and Health 2023-2024 Distinguished Public Lecture:
AGEISM UNMASKED
Dr. Tracey Gendron, Virginia Commonwealth University
March 7, 6:30 PM
MAP University Theatre (Riddell Centre)
This presentation translates decades of research on age discrimination into actionable steps to overcome ageism and ableism both personally and professionally. Dr. Tracey Gendron explores the forces that have shaped our understanding of aging and what it means to be old. We will examine the defiicency in the understanding and acknowledgement of elderhood as a stage of development. To create a culture built on age-inclusion, a new image of aging is needed to disrupt ageist and ableist thought and behaviour within ourselves, communities, policy, and culture.
Dr. Tracey Gendron is the Chair of the Virginia Commonwealth University Department of Gerontology and Director of the Virginia Center on Aging. She is also the author of the book "Ageism Unmasked: Exploring Age Bias and How to End It." She is an internationally recognized gerontologist with almost 30 years of experience as a grant-funded researcher and speaks to audiences globally about the real world impact of age bias.
This event is open to the public and admission is free. Free parking is available at all M and Z lots after 5 pm.

TITLE: RISK FACTOR MANAGEMENT IN CHRONIC DISEASE: Optimizing Behavioural Interventions for Cardiovascular Disease, Pain, and Obesity
ABSTRACT: According to the World Health Organization, chronic, noncommunicable diseases including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Type II Diabetes are responsible for three-quarters of deaths worldwide. Behavioural risk factors such as smoking, physical inactivity, and unhealthy dietary patterns increase the risk of developing and dying from a chronic disease. Behavioural interventions are critical for targeting these risk factors and enhancing health-promoting behaviours to improve patient outcomes. This presentation will describe a program of research that aims to develop, evaluate, and optimize cutting-edge behavioural treatments for cardiovascular disease, pain, and obesity. Past and current projects will be reviewed and a proposal for future directions at the University of Regina will be discussed.
