Abstract

ABSTRACT Residing in a fundamentally ableist society while disability justice tends to be rendered invisible in many movements for equity and collective liberation, we aim to challenge the existing knowledge of disability and discuss how these understandings play out in education, policy, and other public spaces. In this kitchen-table talk, we begin by reflecting on our own positionalities in relation to disability to re/imagine alternative definitions of disability justice. We explore the ways language is used to reclaim disability pride and radically disrupt normative stories about disability and other marginalized identities. Being an ally requires centering the voices and lived experiences of disabled people at the intersections of differences, particularly those who are politically and socially alienated and erased.
