Disability in the Earth System Sciences (Part 1): Kaitlin Naughten on Stammering / Stuttering
26/07/2020 Duration: 01h13minIn the first of this series on Earth System scientists with disabilities, oceanographer Kaitlin Naughten talks about her experience with stammering (a.k.a. stuttering). We talk about a number of topics, including: What is a disability? In particular, what is stammering / stuttering? How does stammering affect life in science? What is the "medical model" of disability? How about the "social model" of disability? Representation and why it matters Special accommodations for people who speak with a stammer How to be a good listener when speaking to someone with a stammer Are there any good things about stammering?
