To Imagine Disability Otherwise | Linda Ware | TEDxSUNYGeneseo

Ableism is a pervasive feature of society that can be readily identified in multiple social locations. Ableism is composed by witting and unwitting actions, actors and institutions that, once exposed, can challenge the injustice of ableism as a given in society.
