Episode 95: Analyzing Stigma and Ableism Against Autistics using Relational Density Theory

Listen Later

Episode 95 features a conversation with Claire Zuch, a graduate student in Dr. Jordan Bellisle's HUB lab whose work has been focused on the analysis of ableism and stigma against Autistic folks.  Relational Density Theory is a complex and fascinating concept and Claire does a wonderful job of explaining RDT to a novice like myself.  Claire notes that RDT is often easier to explain with a visual of something known as a geospace (see below).  Claire discusses her plans to continue this research in her doctoral program with Dr. Mark Dixon and the importance of compensating Autistic participants for their labour.
