About the Guest:
Raviraj Shetty is an occupational therapist, children's book author, supervisor, library educator and a teacher who believes that all the problems of this world are rooted in the structural systems of oppression rather than in communities or peoples bodies and identities. His work is informed by Narrative practices, sensory integration, accountability practices, queer writings, children's books, his mother’s cooking practices and his communities ways of living. He is a teacher of Narrative practices and Early childhood development; and teaches in local and international workshops and diplomas. He supports the work of therapists and community health workers through supervision and consultation. Raviraj has published articles and is a peer reviewer for the Indian Journal of Occupational Therapy and has also co-curated Jugaad, a little book of know-hows by young people with disabilities about mental health and conceptualised Our Jugaad, a handbook of know-hows by mothers of disabled children. He has peer reviewed articles for international journals including Journal of Occupational science.
This series is hosted by Saransh Bisht, mental health collective associate at Belongg. They are also a mental health practitioner who works extensively with queer persons on various psycho-social themes. In 2019 they co-founded queer listening circle to enable healing spaces among community spaces.
