Dr. Tracey Gendron Speaking Topics

  • Out Of Sync: The Age and Age Perception Disconnect

    In this eye-opening presentation, Dr. Tracey Gendron distills decades of research about aging and age discrimination into a thought-provoking and sometimes humorous conversation about the commonly accepted myths and misconceptions people of all ages face. With sharp wit and real-world examples, Tracey offers practical steps to help us challenge ageism in ourselves, our communities, our policies, and our culture.

  • The Science of Elderhood

    As a developmental gerontologist, Dr. Gendron is uniquely qualified to explain why elderhood is a distinct stage of human development that follows adulthood. She discusses how we define success in later life, and the missing cultural elements that hinder developmental growth in later life. Understanding elderhood as a time of growth and development helps all people aspire, rather than fear, growing old.
