Disa­bled indi­vi­du­als experience discrim­ination in vari­ous soci­etal sett­ings. Some of those are easily visi­ble, but others are more hidden. The Uni­versity of Iceland hosted the annual equ­ality days ear­lier this month, but the pur­pose and goal of them is to create open discourse and incr­e­a­sed und­er­stand­ing of equ­ality and to incr­e­ase the visi­bility of equ­ality issu­es. This year, Dr. Liat Ben-Mos­he, assistant pro­fessor at Toledo Uni­versity in the U.S., was the feat­ured guest spea­ker. She gave two pres­enta­tion about differ­ent types of discrim­ination aga­inst disa­bled indi­vi­du­als – on the one hand, wit­hin the academic comm­unity, and on the other hand, wit­hin the legal system. Kjartan sat down with Liat and Rann­veig Trausta­dott­ir, pro­fessor at the Uni­versity of Iceland and the Director of the Res­e­arch Center of Disa­bility Stu­dies, to discuss how discrim­ination impacts the lives of disa­bled indi­vi­du­als and the end­ur­ance of those indi­vi­du­als in fight­ing for a more inclusive soci­ety.
