14: The Phil & Simon Show No 14 - Emotion in Activism with Angela Matthews


Listen Later

A new voice! Phil and Simon welcome PhD researcher and Business Disability Forum consultant Angela Matthews on to the show. Angela asks Phil and Simon what role they think emotion plays in activism in terms of policy making, particularly disability rights. It throws up all manner of thoughts from them both like: How accessible is activism? Can you be ideologically pure and be effective? Can activism alienate people as much as welcome? Is disability campaigning now about access to Glastonbury rather than segregated living? What about disability pride? What do leading commentators such as Jane Campbell. Neil Crowther and Tom Shakespeare say? Is there a flag pole all disabled people, visible and non-visible, old and young can all rally around or are we just too broad a church? We hope you enjoy it. Do let us know what you think. [email protected]
