No Body/Mind Left Behind Show Notes This conversation between Disability Justice activist and educator Alex Locust, aka the Glamputee, and U of T Disability Justice leaders, centres lived experiences and explores how Disability Justice offers a framework to create a society that uplifts all people, where no body/mind is left behind.
Our panel speaks honestly about claiming power through representation, activism, and self-care, challenging capitalism and toxic notions of productivity, and what it means to embody disability justice in our activism, planning, and the day to day. This episode captures a conversation held in November 2020 at the Diversity Moves Us Conference organized by U of T’s Sport & Recreation's Diversity & Equity. With heartfelt gratitude to our panelists, and Robin Waley. Produced in partnership with KPE.
