Against Ageism: A Queer Manifesto
Join us for the London launch of Simon(e) van Saarloos’ new book Against Ageism: A Queer Manifesto. Drawing from personal experience, this piercing manifesto offers a reckoning with how ageism overlaps with structures of white supremacy and patriarchy. To mark its UK release, van Saarloos will be in conversation about Against Ageism, which through the lens of crip and queer theory, as well as anti-carceral and anti-colonial perspectives on time, provocatively calls for the abolition of age-related laws, reframing commonly held understandings about age.
