Blogging Against Disablism Day: a week of writing, a month or so of reading ALL THE THINGS.

My entry for this year's Blogging Against Disablism Day is now polished and posted. And it's here: BADD 2016: What the "Social Model of Disability" Actually Means.

I'm rather pleased with it, if I may say so.

... Expect many links and recs. over the next few days as I read my way through the growing archive

Yes, it's not as if I don't talk about the Social Model every chance I get ;)

There's at least a couple more work well with mine, 'I’m an academic in a wheelchair – why is it so difficult?' and Goldfish's own 'Legitimate Disability' piece.

Took me a surprisingly long time to see what you meant - it was obvious as soon as I re-read your piece, but for some reason when I looked at mine I couldn't frame the negativity as shame. It is, you're right, but for some reason it's not a word my mind was using for it. Weird.

Discrimination, I think. I can be very literal at times.

Way late, but your essay is still great!

This is one I can point to when I'm feeling academy-averse: you make your point so clearly. Thanks!
