Today I’m joined by Dr. Pau Abustan and Dr. Shayda Kafai to discuss the intersections of queerness, disability justice and mentorship for BIPOC scholars.
The episode covers the principles of disability justice, personal strategies for self-care, and the importance of building supportive communities and mentorship networks.
Our guests also open up about the challenges that queer, crip, BIPOC scholars face and provide insights into advocating for inclusive and accessible educational spaces.
