Desiring Disability, Intimacy, and Community – Eliza Chandler

 

This will help us think about disability community.

 

 

Disability communities avoid colonialism.

 

 

Colonialism means trying to take over or control another country and make money from it.

 

 

Disability communities avoid nationalism.

 

 

Nationalism is feeling better that your country is better than other countries.

 

 

Disability communities think about citizenship without nationalism or colonialism.

 

 

Citizenship is about our rights and access to equality, fairness and justice.

 

 

Eliza will use story-telling and story listening to help us think about disability communities.

 

 

These stories will show many different possibilities for community.

 

 

Stories about community can create community.
