This Black Friday, instead of anti-aging gadgets and risky cosmetic procedures, Eurozine offers an intervention into the aging conversation - and why women just can’t seem to be allowed to enjoy it. This is the inaugural episode of our new talk show, Standard Time, which will air weekly discussions every Thursday, offering insight and some laughs too. Standard Time will address topics with a cross-European interest, bringing Eurozine’s partner editors, authors and experts to a joint table from all corners of the continent. This show is a Display Europe production - a forthcoming platform to respect your user data and show you content from across 15 languages. Guests of this episode dr. Fiona Rupprecht research psychologist, University of Vienna dr. Marleen Wynants director of Crosstalks, guest editor of the Flemish journal rekto:verso dr.
