Episode Four - Anel Martin Interviews Susan Scott-Parker

This programme is called ‘Scott Parker goes live’ – which prompted my latest challenging conversation with Anel asking: So what is top of your mind- what is ‘live?’ - as you continue to tackle what you describe as the ‘global disability equality crisis’?

Her questions just kept coming:

Why does the world still so strongly resist the message that disability is a human rights and equality imperative-as evidenced by your ongoing struggle to get disability into the global ethical and responsible AI debate?

Why are disabled employees never described as ‘entitled’ to reasonable adjustments –as women are ‘entitled’ to maternity leave’?

Why does the phrase: ‘inclusion is a choice’ trigger your instant reply: “Well I guess ‘not robbing a bank’ is also a choice.’’

Does focusing on the ‘bright side’ of incremental progress really get better results- or does failure to dig deep into disability specific obstacles, such as the state of HR training worldwide, or the ideology of equity and inclusion - make progress less likely?

Do join us for what we hope you agree is a thought provoking conversation.
