Hello, Please share . There is a virtual option to attend. Thanks, Nancy Nancy E Hansen, PhD, Professor, Director, Interdisciplinary Master's Program,Disability Studies Accessibility is not an optics issue or a choice it is a necessity If you say I have special needs ... then just say the word disabled. Euphemisms only fuel ableism. Disability is not a dirty word. Haben Girma Disability is creativity at a moment’s notice. It adds depth and texture. It’s another element in the human experience 128 Education Building University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, R3T 2N2 Email:Nancy.Hansen@umanitoba.ca<mailto:Nancy.Hansen@umanitoba.ca> Chapter 18: DisAppearing Disability: Disability MAiD Invisible, by Nancy Hansen https://canadianscholars.ca/book/disappearing/ ________________________________ From: The Disability-Research Discussion List <DISABILITY-RESEARCH@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> on behalf of Longmore Inst on Disability <00008aae7e4cd2cd-dmarc-request@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> Sent: Wednesday, May 8, 2024 10:19 PM To: DISABILITY-RESEARCH@JISCMAIL.AC.UK <DISABILITY-RESEARCH@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> Subject: Event on the Medical Research Scandals with Disability Focus & New Book by Carl Elliott Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. Join The Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability for a talk with Dr. Carl Elliott, author of the new book <The Occasional Human Sacrifice: Medical Experimentation and the Price of Saying No>, an intellectual inquiry into the moral struggle that whistleblowers face, and why it is not the kind of struggle that most people imagine. It explores shocking cases of abusive medical research and the whistleblowers who spoke out against them, sometimes at the expense of their careers. Carl Elliott is a professor at the University of Minnesota who was trained in medicine as well as philosophy. For many years he fought for an external inquiry into a psychiatric research study at his own university in which an especially vulnerable patient lost his life. Elliott’s efforts alienated friends and colleagues. The university stonewalled him and denied wrongdoing until a state investigation finally vindicated his claims. His experience frames the six stories in this book of medical research in which patients were deceived into participating in experimental programs they did not understand, many of which had astonishing and well-concealed mortality rates. This event will focus on the disability implications for these stories, both with disabled people being the population harmed in these studies and also with the cost of whistle blowing often being mental disabilities and trauma. It will be moderated by Milton Reynolds, educator and activist, who brings a focus on the history of eugenics and critical race theory to the dialogue. The program will be hybrid, rsvp requested here for both. ASL/Live CART provided. For other access questions: pklinst@sfsu.edu. The in-person event will be held at the J. Paul Leonard Library Room 121, San Francisco State University, masks strongly encouraged to attend. This program is co-presented with the Center for Genetics and Society, the Health Equity Center, and the STS-Technology Hub.
