Episode 241: Diversity in Six of Crows
Notes:
Though we don’t directly mention them by name, these previous episodes are connected with this series:
- Episode 31: Writing diverse characters
- Episode 188: Neurodivergence and Creativity Part 1
- Episode 189: Neurodivergence and Creativity Part 2
- Episode 190: A panel on neurodiversity and creativity
- Episode 202: Language affects perception
- Episode 239: Writing with Disabilities

As part of this discussion, we use the CDC’s definition:
- “A disability is any condition of the body or mind (impairment) that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the world around them (participation restrictions).”
- “There are many types of disabilities, such as those that affect a person’s: Vision, Movement, Thinking, Remembering, Learning, Communicating, Hearing, Mental health, and Social relationships.”
- “Although ‘people with disabilities’ sometimes refers to a single population, this is actually a diverse group of people with a wide range of needs. Two people with the same type of disability can be affected in very different ways. Some disabilities may be hidden or not easy to see.”
