SUMMARY:Didier Eribon on Class and Inequality
DTSTAMP:20260810T202752Z
DTSTART:20260929T180000Z
DESCRIPTION:How does social inequality shape the experience of growing olde
	r? This evening\nPhilosopher Didier Eribon\, one of the most influential F
	rench thinkers of his\ngeneration\, will speak about the intersections of 
	class\, ageing\, and inequality.\n\nEribon argues that we think far too li
	ttle about old age: “It only concerns the\npeople who are directly affecte
	d\, and their children. Very old people form a\npolitical category that is
	 not recognised as such. This is an economic\, social\,\npolitical\, and m
	oral problem.” (Didier Eribon in NRC\, 2024\n[https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/20
	24/09/26/schrijver-didier-eribon-over-ouderdom-wordt-veel-te-weinig-nageda
	cht-het-interesseert-niemand-a4867261])\n\nEribon’s work Returning to Reim
	s (2018) became an international reference point\nfor understanding class\
	, social mobility\, and inequality. In his latest book\,\nThe Life\, Old A
	ge\, and Death of a Working-Class Woman (2024)\, Eribon turns his\nattenti
	on to the final stage of life. Reflecting on the decline and death of his\
	nmother\, he explores how ageing\, dependency\, and care are deeply shaped
	 by social\ninequalities.
