Final Project: How We Should Actually Actively Listen

LaurenH's picture

For my final project, I created a website that talks about the idea of "Active Listening," and how we can become more aware and compassioante of other people's needs. It is founded in this idea promoting care for not just non-disabled parts of the individual and to encourage people to be themselves and actually listen to one another (I personally think the outcome is more interesting than the premise sounds). My hope is to eventually create a resource page that could be used in classrooms with an attached handout that could be used for customs (if that still exists?) and professors. Let me know if you have trouble accessing it and I will manually add you.

I talked about this a bit in my breakout room last night and I might talk about it in my final project, but I thought I'd share it in a post in case I end up going in a different direction with my paper.

I saw a tweet a few days ago and I've been thinking a lot about it ever since. The tweet reads, "we don't talk enough about the imposter syndrome / burnout crossover when you don't think you are allowed to feel burnout. not to be earnest but it's something I've experienced and something I've observed in my friends in the past. you're burnt out but you don't believe you've done enough or, for lack of a better word, earned it."

Zine uplifting incarcerated disabled voices

Hi all! I just wanted to share these cool zines I found called Sick of It! that are quarterly zines made by a group of prison abolitionists and disabled activists/artists that talk about disability justice and caring for community while in prison. They include content from disabled incarcerated folks and information about disability rights in prisons - this org is really cool because they also send zines to incarcerated folks for free and so allows prisoners to see creative products of themselves, by themselves and is also a way to transmit information. https://www.sickofit.space/
