Defining decoloniality:

Coming Up: Hear Dr. Xuan Thuy Nguyen discuss and reflect on her experience researching disability in the Global South. When: Mar 22, 2022, 08:00 PM Vietnam (09:00 AM EST Ottawa)

On #InternationalWomensDay 2022, the Decolonial Disability Studies Collective at @Carleton_U celebrates all #women and #girls across the globe and reiterates its commitment towards a more just and inclusive world. We thank all our partners for their ongoing research and activism.

#Ableism is an attitude or social practice that discriminates against those regarded as “#disabled”. It assumes that some bodies, minds, and behaviors are more desirable and worthy than others. Ableism can present itself in diverse institutions and spaces.

Dr. Xuan Thuy Nguyen will be a guest speaker at the Vietnamese Humanities & Social Science Association discussing and reflecting on her experience researching #disability in the #Global #South. Mark your calendars. Register in advance for this meeting: lakeheadu.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Defining Disability: #Disability refers to a periodic or permanent form of physical or mental difference(s) which may be considered non-normal and/or less valuable in societies that privilege non-disabled bodies. It can be both visible and invisible.

Utilizing #twitter as a #knowledge #sharing platform, we will be posting keywords and definitions that we have adopted in our #research projects on #disability. We would love to hear your feedback on these definitions as a way to #generate knowledge and discussions. Stay tuned.

The DDSC team kicking off the year with a team meeting to plan our projects and set our goals for the coming year 2022! Stay tuned.
