Why Blindness Matters Talk
4th December @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Selina Mills: Why Blindness Matters: how to travel through time and life with no or low vision.
Author, historian, and disability activist Selina Mills will talk about what we think of blindness and how to define it, exploring the origins of our binary definitions.
Selina will look at how we can use the past to help us now. How academics, medicine and charities have looked at blindness, and how we can change very fixed notions of disability, particularly with notions of what blind people / disabled people can do and not do, whether in employment, parenting or in politics and public service. How can we all include everyone in what it means to be human?
Selina Mills is an award-winning writer and broadcaster who is legally blind.
