Down to the Struts

Putting the 'cool' in disability culture with Day Al-Mohamed

Listen Later

What is disability culture? Qudsiya is joined in conversation by author, filmmaker, and policy expert Day Al-Mohamed.

They talk about Day's approach to transforming social and cultural attitudes about disability. Day sees this as a central tool that goes hand-in-hand with advancing policies that ensure rights and legal protections for disabled people. Day wants people to see disability culture as cool -- and Qudsiya thinks that’s a worthy objective too.
