I will be attending and presenting my paper in International Disability Summer School at the University of Galway. I am also excited for the keynote speech of Talila A. Lewis | talilalewis.bsky.social in the summer school. 🙏

Grateful for the opportunity to present on the topic of eugenics as a tool of law and public policy. Eugenics is not a thing of the past - it's actively being legislated for as we speak. Thank you as always to Centre for Disability Law and Policy for the opportunity!


We are excited to be attending the Centre for Disability Law and Policy #16thDSS in person this year! The theme this year is "Disabled Activism in the Age of Far-Right Resurgence". Looking forward to the speakers and panels on some exciting topics.

At Disability Summer School at the University of Galway organized by Centre for Disability Law and Policy. I will be speaking in the panel for 'Limits of the Human Rights Approach against Far-Right Movements'. #16thDSS



Loved the brilliant and passionate keynote speech by Talila A. Lewis | talilalewis.bsky.social. Linking ableism with nullification, objectification, and 'thingification' and how ableism negates humanity of oppressed people was extremely illuminating to understand debilitation and disablement. #16thDSS
