Ageism: Justice and Social Policy

On March 3, 2013, I gave the Arnulf M. Memorial Lecture at the Paul Baerwald School of Social Work and Social Welfare, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The lecture discusses the intersection between ageism and social justice.
Here is the link to the full text of the lecture:

At its core, in this lecture I argue that what older persons need is not only economic justice, or just re-distribution of income. What older persons need, all over the world, in cultural justice: justice of recognition.
