The Dis/rupting Disability Lab is excited to welco

The Dis/rupting Disability Lab is excited to welcome local journalist Amy Silverman as a guest collaborator in the Lab today!

Silverman, in addition to being an award-winning editor/ author and regular contributor to KJZZ (NPR’s member station), is also an advisory board member for the National Center for Disability and Journalism (NCDJ) at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Through this role, she is the editor of the NCDJ's Style Guide, which helps journalists ensure they are using disability language appropriately.

Silverman authored her first book titled, My Heart Can't Even Believe It: A Story of Science, Love, and Down Syndrome, which was published in 2016. The book details Silverman's life before and after the birth of her daughter Sophie, who has Down Syndrome, and reflects on the ways in which people with disabilities can change our perspectives and attitudes.

Students in the Lab will work with Silverman through a question and answer session to enhance their research and dis/ability perspectives through Silverman’s lens and experiences.

Learn more about Silverman and her work at: www.amy-silverman.com.

The Humanities Lab and the School of International

The Humanities Lab and the School of International Letters and Cultures (SILC) are pleased to announce the Humanities Lab’s new administrative affiliation as part of the SILC collective.

SILC and the Humanities Lab are aligned in their missions to help students become globally informed citizens in a world of complex challenges. “This affiliation comes at an ideal time when the Humanities Lab and (the school) are experiencing accelerated growth and interest as the pandemic reveals the depth of global inequities as well as the urgency of transnational communication and collaboration,” Humanities Lab Co-director Juliann Vitullo said.

As the Humanities Lab's racial justice, social med

As the Humanities Lab's racial justice, social media series rounded out this past week, we would like to give a heart felt thank you to our wonderful intern Yewande Lewis. Lewis authored the series providing a vast collection of information, insight and valued resources . This collection is rich with reasons why we all must advocate for an anti-racist future.

Lewis graduated from ASU Barrett Honors College this past spring with majors in Justice Studies and English. Her honors creative project, Daughters of America, traces the interviews of six young women who identify as daughters of immigrants and finds common themes across cultures and nationalities. Her project hopes to create a sense of home through text by providing a space for an underrepresented group to share their stories and to offer a way for other children of immigrants to feel valid in their experiences.

Lewis will be launching her career with AmeriCorps this fall and putting her education to work supporting local community. She is already missed here at the Lab - we wish her all the best!

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many of us to grapple with multiple cracks and problems in our society. Statistics prove that people of color are more likely to die from COVID-19. Why is that?

This week we want to draw your attention to health disparities based on race in the United States through a series of documentaries and informational videos.

1. The Unnatural Causes Documentary Series on PBS explores the many ways that racial discrimination in healthcare affects the livelihoods of people of color.

2. Mothers Matter is a video that examines the high mortality rates of Black mothers in the United States: http://ow.ly/GZN450ARQZ2

3. In the video, Racial Disparities in Healthcare are Pervasive, Healthcare Triage describes the many ways patients of color are often given different treatments, diagnoses, due to stereotyping in healthcare. http://ow.ly/w1oc50ARQYZ

4. Through a poignant Ted Talk, retired physician Dennis Pocekay discusses the effects of racism in healthcare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LdwxTwh7VQ
