OOL_0058 Examining Ageism With Aiyana Goodfellow


Listen Later

Host Annie Friday is joined this week by Aiyana Goodfellow, self-described writer, liberator, and delinquent. Much of Aiyana's current work centers on inviting others to dig into their own implicit or explicit anti-child ageism. Aiyana has classes called Why You Hate Kids, 101, 102, and a self-paced intensive that can be found at her website aiyanagoodfellow.com as well as a published book titled Innocence and Corruption: An abolitionist understanding of youth oppression. Aiyana encourages adults to use self-reflection and intentionality in order to  create change by shifting out of the model of having power over young people and rather share power with young people. In this conversation, we discuss the discomfort of childhood, child abuse, freedom, power, and systems like schooling that keep children in an oppressed group.
