On this Episode Alex, Jayden, Stella and Nicki interview Cathy, who is working with the University of Sydney and Melbourne on a research project that investigates how other people discriminate against young people with disability in public places and how this affects their social and economic participation and wellbeing.

She is hoping to speak with young people with different types of disabilities aged 19 - 29 to learn more about their lives and how experiences of discrimination in public places (including public transport) affect their social and economic participation.
