Disability and feminisms in Latin America

The CLACSO Working Group “Critical Disability Studies” is made up of activist researchers, teachers and militants with and without disabilities, sick, mentally ill, neurodivergent and allies from different places who dedicate our epistemic-political practices linked to the anti-counter-ableist and anti-cordist struggles.

The aim of this episode is to share the perspectives and contributions of some members of the GT Sentipien (Thoughtful Thinking Group) when they weave together the threads of disability, an anti/counter-ableist perspective, and feminisms. We will also discuss an upcoming book, some of whose authors are the interviewees.
