My compadres are beginning to organize! I’ll be there on January 13th. Also looking forward to learning how to facilitate safe and productive conversations about age bias. Ferguson has provoked plenty of interesting exchanges around identity and solidarity, and while racism and ageism are different in significant ways, there’s much to learn from those discussions as well.
I sold my business in 2013 and since have been experiencing the joys of being in a job search at age 61. I have been told I am too qualified, I don’t have just the “right” qualifications, and that my doctorate is a bit “intimidating”. Good luck on your conference. I wish I could attend.
