€˜Day in Washington' is where I hope to explore and discuss various aspects of disability policy. Each episode will cover a specific issue within disability, and/or a disability-related news article. These short summaries offer an easy to understand introduction to disability policy and resources for those interested in further study. You can find the text of the podcast in the comments of this post.  Please note that this podcast is Part 1 of a two part podcast covering the issue of American Eugenics and the practice of forced sterilization as it was practiced historically and how it continues today.
