Episode 5: Disability 101 - What is Academic Ableism?

Welcome back to this week's episode of the Madcast! This week, Hosts Nate and El are trying out a new segment for the pod, "Disability 101." The segment will focus on one key disability concept, term, experience, and community folks may be unfamiliar and give a "101," or introductory explanation, on that concept/term/experience/community. Moving onto today's episode, we'll be answering the question, what actually IS academic ableism? What does it look like in post-secondary education? And, how in the world are disabled folks supposed to navigate the hellscape that is getting academic accommodations?! Come join us to find out- you won't regret it.Note: See episode transcript hereIf you want to support us here on the Madcast, check out our Patreon and our Instagram!If you want check out the lab, check out our Linktree for our socials and media spotlights or our website to check out what new project we have going on!Thank you all and enjoy the show!!Credits:Hosts: Nate Tilton and Eliana MaderaProducer: Nate Tilton and Eliana MaderaProduction Assistance: Trisha NguyenExecutive Producer: Karen Nakamura, PhD Produced at UC Berkeley Disability Lab (or Rad Mad Lab)Recorded at Ethnic Studies Changemaker Podcast, UC BerkeleyCopyright © 2023 by Nate Tilton, Eliana Madera, & Trisha NguyenLicense: CC-by-SA Licenses List | Creative Commons
