Dr. Tim Stainton, Professor Emeritus at the UBC School of Social Work and co-Director of the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship, and Karla Verschoor, Executive Director of Inclusion BC, discuss their collaborative work advancing inclusion for individuals with disabilities in British Columbia. They reflect on the evolution of the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship, including its policy advocacy during the Covid-19 pandemic. They highlight several projects, including exploring and addressing inequalities arising from the intersection of gender and disability, and how participatory theater productions help share lived experiences with a broader audience. The conversation also touches on the importance of people with disabilities as self-advocates and researchers to drive meaningful change.
