LISA NERENBERG, Executive Director, the California ELDER JUSTICE
COALITION; Instructor, City College of SAN FRANCISCO; Author, _Elder
Justice, Ageism and Elder Abuse_In this era of heightened attention to
social JUSTICE, one voice is conspicuously missing—the voice of
older adults. In _Elder Justice, Ageism, and Elder Abuse_, Lisa
Nerenberg explores why ageism has failed to gain the traction of other
"isms." It is ageism, she contends, that is to blame for America's lax
response to elder abuse, neglect in nursing homes, and exploitation by
guardians and scammers. Her elder justice agenda offers a vision for a
more just society for older adults and people of all ages.
Nerenberg has been a leader in the field of elder abuse prevention
for over 30 years. She is executive director of the California Elder
Justice Coalition and an instructor at City College of San Francisco,
where she teaches classes in gerontology, elder abuse and ageism. She
has presented at hundreds of professional forums, testified before
congressional committees, served on governmental advisory board, and
written extensively about elder abuse and related topics. Her book
offers a roadmap for promoting individual rights and social justice in
aging policy and programs.
