On Disability and Difference

The following TED Talks contain content that can help expand our understandings of disability and difference. Although this is not an exhaustive list, most of the videos utilize a social model of disability and offer a variety of perspectives. A couple are not explicitly about disability, but offer suggestions for overcoming biases and for learning about diversity by being wary of “single stories.”
