Reframing Aging Webinar Recording: Reframing the Response to COVID-19 - Applying Reframed Language to Counteract Ageism
GSA Reframing Aging Webinar: Reframing the Response to COVID-19 - Applying Reframed Language to Counteract Ageism
The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) held a Reframing Aging webinar on April 21, "Reframing the Response to COVID-19: Applying Reframed Language to Counteract Ageism."
Many of us are concerned by the ageism exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The webinar offered ways that we can respond using empirically-supported narratives developed by the FrameWorks Institute for the Reframing Aging initiative and other projects to frame the public discourse on social and scientific issues. Presenters included:
- Patricia M. D'Antonio, BSPharm, MS, MBA, BCGP, Vice President, Professional Affairs, GSA, and Project Director, Reframing Aging Initiative
- Moira O'Neil, PhD, Vice President for Research Interpretation, FrameWorks Institute
The Leaders of Aging Organizations (LAO) who initiated Reframing Aging in 2014 partnered with FrameWorks Institute who undertook research about the public’s perceptions of aging, and tested strategies and tools in “Gaining Momentum,” that were found empirically to reduce implicit bias. GSA is now leading the next phase of the Reframing Aging Initiative with funding from four philanthropic organizations.
