“The lens through which we commonly view aging”
A Letter from Our Presenters
Dear Colleagues in Reframing Aging,
Thank you for joining us in mid-August to think about the implications of our new research for the work you do!
The 150 participants gave ample testimony to the interest in the field in rethinking how we engage people in aging issues.
You asked really important questions and, unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time to get to all of them. So we at FrameWorks want to offer some ways for you to join us in this exploration of reframing aging by accessing some of the explanatory products we’ve created to help people ratchet up their framing skills.
Here are five things you can do now to bring better frames into your work:
- Follow our research on aging – we will posting new research any day now, so catching up with what’s been posted is a good use of late August time: http://www.frameworksinstitute.org/aging.html
- Consider ways to “widen the lens” – one of FrameWorks’ emerging recommendations is to focus more on systems that affect aging and less on individual outcomes. How exactly do you do that? Learn more in this online course, part of FrameWorks Academy – this one is free for a limited time, so spend a few hours with us soon and try using these techniques in your work: http://frameworksacademy.org.
- Get up to speed on framing – If you like your free course, sign up for Framing Fundamentals which will introduce you to frame elements like Values and Metaphors and how they change people’s perceptions of social issues, along with many examples from FrameWorks’ portfolio on health, education, children’s issues, etc.
- Snack on a framing brief over lunch – Questions like those raised on the call have been addressed over time in many short briefs that make for good brown bag discussions: http://www.frameworksinstitute.org/framing-files.html. Why doesn’t FrameWorks recommend profiling individuals to drive home their aging challenges? Try this provocative piece on the frame effects of that strategy: http://www.frameworksinstitute.org/assets/files/eZines/vivid_examples_ezine.pdf
- Sign up for future alerts from FrameWorks – we’ll let you know when we have new research on aging as well as housing, health, immigration, income inequality, etc. These are all ongoing investigations we have underway that may intersect with your interests. Join our community of framers!
