Episode 10: Disability 101 - Principles of Disability Justice

Welcome back!  On this week’s episode of the Madcast, hosts El and lyn cover yet another key disability studies/activism term: disability justice. Defined by members of the BIPOC, queer, and disabled performance art group Sins Invalid, disability justice is concept/framework academics and laymen use often haphazardly, without fully understanding what it means “to practice” disability justice. So we’re here to unpack disability justice — What is it? What are its key principals? Why is it important?  Come find out the answer on this week’s episode of the Madcast!
