Redux: Beyond Affliction

Seven years ago, NPR did a week-long Talk of the Nation series on disability called "Beyond Affliction." The first 50-minute discussion explains how disability is a cultural experience. The most noteworthy thing here is perhaps that a national radio program offers a discussion between a reporter, a professor, the [then] Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitation Services, a cartoonist and a businessman -- all individuals with disabilities. Well, and the nondisabled call-in rabble. It's still a relevant discussion all these years later, and the dynamic between the panel of experts and the general public is interesting.
