Listen "Summer Replay - Elderhood, Part II with Tracey Gendron, PhD"
Episode Synopsis
We couldn't get enough. We wanted to learn more about elderhood from our podcast guest Dr. Tracey Gendron, so we asked her back for part II. Dr. Gendron, author of Ageism Unmasked and Chair of the Gerontology Department at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond is back this week to take a deep dive into two relevant social constructs: caregiving and retirement. We talk about the history of caregiving, giving and getting it, and discuss how to give care more value and importance. We tackle the concept of retirement. Is it a stage of life? Or just a withdrawal from a job? The more we talk, the more we understand how elderhood, in order to be unburdened with ageism, takes contemplation, work and a lot of imagination. Thank you Dr. Gendron for leading the way.
