1. Define age and ageism by drawing on Allen (2010). How do you identify in terms of age? Is this identity important to you? Explain why or why not. 2. What sources have taught you about age (e.g., parents, friends, favourite media, teachers, coaches)? Robustly describe at least two different instances where you learned about gender in your formative years. 3. How, if at all, do you perform your age (e.g., language, dress, music, hobbies)? Has your performance of age changed across the years? Explain. 4. Do you think your attitudes about age intersect with other facets of your social identity, for instance: your gender? your race? your ethnicity? your sexual orientation? your nationality? If so, how? Offer at least one example. If not, why not? 5. Think about a time when you witnessed a problematic disciplining of age (e.g., at school, work, in your family, with friends). Describe the situation robustly. Then, talk about how you or someone else could have interceded safely in that situation to interrupt the reproduction of sexist and patriarchal norms. If you can't think of an example from your life, pull one from the media and consider it. 1. Define age and ageism by drawing on Allen (2010). How do you identify in terms of age?
