Description
Leslie Hasche and co-authors published this education paper in 2023. It describes a university course on intergenerational justice: fairness between age groups, and within them, across a lifetime. Public debate often pits generations against each other over budgets, climate, housing, and care. The course instead teaches students to analyze those fights through justice theories. Versions of it have run for over nine years, for graduate students and older lifelong learners alike.
Sessions mix theory with activities that bring age groups into direct contact and problem-solving. Topics range from politics and ecological justice to health care and employment. Instructors and former students share which strategies worked to unsettle ageist assumptions. The authors argue that such courses do double duty. They teach a neglected branch of social justice, and they build real connections across ages. That makes the format a promising tool for gerontology education and for softening generational conflict narratives.
