Students, alumni and all members of the community are invited to attend. All sessions take place at noon via Zoom.
For the Aug. 4 edition of Scholars’ Hub @ Home, Associate Professor Ela Veresiu from York's Schulich School of Business will host a discussion titled "#AdvancedStyle: Confronting gendered ageism online."
Attendees will learn how advanced style influencers (aged 50-plus) are using Instagram to fight the gendered ageism that has become rampant in North America’s fashion and beauty industries. Veresiu's presentation is based on her Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada study that was recently published in the Journal of the Association for Consumer Research.
