In this week’s episode I welcomed back Dr. Erin Pritchard. Dr. Pritchard is a Lecturer in Disability Studies at Liverpool Hope University, author of the book Dwarfism, Spatiality and Disabling Experiences, and activist in the little person community. We discuss the roots of the stereotypes towards people with dwarfism, the need to teach the social model of disability, examine how the disabled community views people with dwarfism, and explain why it is so important for the dwarfism community to stand together to advocate for change.
