Confronting Ableism | Brendan Campbell | TEDxYale

Brendan Campbell, a sophomore at Yale, talks about ableism, and how the way we think shapes the reality we all share. Brendan Campbell is a sophomore at Yale majoring in Cognitive Science. Hailing from Missoula, Montana, he's passionate about all things outside: from leading first years backpacking as a FOOT leader to making pizza with the Yale Sustainable Food Program on the Yale Farm. In his spare time, Brendan loves singing as a member of the Yale Glee Club, taking long walks with friends, thrift-shopping, and coaching the Yale Club Swim Team. As a Cognitive Science major, he believes there's no better lens through which to understand the questions we face than the human mind, and hopes that through his talk, people will think even more about how the way we think shapes the reality we all share. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
