On Thursday I had the great pleasure of speaking on a panel at St Cloud State University on disability justice, & honoring the life & work of Judith Heumann, "the mother of the ADA."
It was such a joy getting to speak alongside other disabled folx about about disability rights, the work Judy did, how much it has changed the world, & how much work we still have to do.

I'm excited to share, as my first post on this platform, that I have received an appointment to a state disability board! I will get to spend the next 3 years helping to make Connecticut more accessible and equitable for disabled folk!
I am also extremely excited to get to serve on the team organizing the State Candidates Forum on Disability, so our candidates for every election get/have to speak about our needs, too!

Oser parler de « suicide assisté » pour des enfants de *moins de un an*... Un suicide. À moins de un an. Je n'ai pas les mots...
Euthanasie, oui ! Assassinat, oui ! Et assassinat eugéniste, qui plus est !

Very excited to have an article in the Australian Journal of Education Special Issue: 150 years of Education for Students with Disability: Progress Made and Remaining Challenges published today. My article is called "Unrealised promises and hollow claims: Australia’s failure to enact its international obligations under the CRPD for the education of students with disability" and looks at misalignment between the #CRPD and Australian #DisabilityDiscrimination laws #DDA #DisabilityRightsAreHumanRights #InclusiveEducation https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/aeda/66/3?fbclid=IwAR0VQ1dsa6XCjJy1W95OV_sHy-l7HsvCEwhpE7wyu0gOzB6LHDHLNypHXZM
