When we peel back the layers of society's attitudes toward disability, we find stories that resonate across borders and hearts. Enter the world of Jan Grue, a Norwegian professor with a muscle disorder, whose memoir "I Live a Life Like Yours" has earned acclaim from none other than Michael J. Fox. The profound connection between these two men, each grappling with their physical conditions, highlights the universal struggle against ableism—a subject that hits close to home for many. We don't just share stories; we confront the uncomfortable truths and the legislative landscapes that define the lives of disabled individuals globally.
Our journey through the nuances of ableism takes us from Norway's welfare state, with its paradoxes and shortcomings, to the contrasting rights and accessibility found in the United States. Through the insights of researcher Inger Marie Lied, we unravel the evolution from a medical to a social understanding of disability, revealing a world where structural issues are often dismissed as oversights, and the shame of disability leads many to hide their challenges. As we unpack these layers, we seek to ignite a conversation that not only shines a light on the barriers but also paves the way for a society that embraces inclusion at every turn. Join us for this compelling session that promises to enlighten and inspire action towards a more equitable world for all.
