Peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties or dis­abled people?

Dis­abil­i­ty: Our Cul­ture Our­selves” in this episode we dis­cuss dis­abil­i­ty, cul­ture and iden­ti­ty from the per­spec­tive of dis­abil­i­ty com­mu­ni­ties themselves.

Seat­tle based activist Dori­an Tay­lor talks about the spe­cif­ic chal­lenges dis­abled peo­ple face while access­ing pub­lic trans­porta­tion and Pro­fes­sor Sara Aceve­do dis­cuss­es the pow­er­ful ways that com­mon lan­guage and ter­mi­nol­o­gy can shape our per­cep­tions of dis­abil­i­ty, and why even today we are see­ing fur­ther exclu­sion of dis­abled people.
