Disability Justice Day - Shirley and Rose Talk Fat and Disability Liberation!

KSPC 88.7FM

Join Scripps College juniors Shirley Zhong and Rose Gelfand on a journey of learning about the intersectional and interconnected natures of fat and disability studies, and discuss how fat and disabled communities can find power together!

Shirley is a Feminist Gender and Sexuality Studies major passionate about critical disability studies and animation. For Disability Justice Day Shirley invited her friend Rose to discuss her art and activist work for fat liberation. Rose is a poet, dancer, and student from Richmond, California. Last year Rose published a series of three original zines, which explore the intersections of fatness, queerness, dance, the internet, sexual violence, desirability politics and embodied experience. She also is a member of Fat Rose, a fat liberationist movement group that aims to connect fat liberation with all other liberation movements.
