The Pandemic and Social Change: Ageism and Intersectional DisparitiesBonner Foundation
A presentation for the University of Pennsylvania Higher Education Leadership Conference in January 2022. This presentation explores the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education through a lens of ageism, ethnicity, race, gender, and other aspects of social identity and justice. Developed based on research and experience by Carol Kalin (University of Pennsylvania), Jamille Nagtalon-Ramos (Rutgers University) and Ariane Hoy (Bonner Foundation).
Workshop Description from Program: The COVID 19 pandemic has exacerbated longstanding disparities in many aspects of American life—from healthcare to higher education.The presenters in this session were co-authors, along with Susan Klusmeier (C15), of a paper on ageism assigned in Dr. Shaun Harper’s last class on diversity, equity, and inclusion at Penn GSE. Entitled “Consider Gina:A Case of Intersectionality of Age, Gender, and Ethnicity in Higher Education,” the paper focused on the problems younger minoritized professionals encounter as they advance in their careers. A literature review revealed that ageism differs from other aspects of identity in that it can be said to transcend culture. During the pandemic, notably, vaccines and other medical interventions were explicitly rationed based on chronological age. In higher education, statistics reflect steep declines in community college attendance, important to social mobility for lower-income students, while at the other end of the spectrum, returns on the large endowments of elite schools are breaking all previous records.After a summary of the paper and some brief comments on ageism and long-term disability in higher education, we offer an update on social justice work at colleges and universities as well as an overview of the pandemic’s impact on academic medicine.

processes for individuals and
organizations engaged in a journey
toward Cultural Proficiency:

with others to understand their values
and behaviors
Reflection and Dialogue are fundamental to

those different from us

differences

differences

which we lead our lives

inquiry of your school/district that focuses on
equity approaches to access and achievement
disparities.

is just one model of reality.
Other cultures are not
failed attempts at being you:
They are unique manifestations
of the human spirit
