Rethinking your own Ageing - Patrons

Discover how ageism shapes our perceptions and limits our potential. This session explores the impact of age stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination on individuals.

Together, we'll develop strategies to overcome societal expectations and embrace a fulfilling later life based on personal values and aspirations.

PRESENTER

Dr. Michelle Porter’s BPHE (Laurentian University), MSc (Community Health, University of Toronto) and PhD (Kinesiology, UWO) were capped by a multi-site MRC Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Boston and Scandinavia. She has studied many aspects of physical activity and ageing, as well as neuromuscular function and ageing. Her current ageing-related work spans ageism, quality of life in long-term care, WHO’s healthy ageing action plan, age-friendly environments, and an international project in artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles. Michelle is a fellow of the Gerontological Society of America. Michelle is the Director of the Centre on Aging at the University of Manitoba, a position she has held since 2015. Dr. Porter is a leader in the age-friendly university movement, and was instrumental in the university becoming one of the world’s first age-friendly universities (Canada’s first).
