Jaipreet Virdi, a historian of medicine and disability, Mara Mills from NYU’s Center for Disability Studies, and Sarah Rose, an associate professor of history, dive into the intertwined narratives of disability and science. They discuss how scientific theories have historically influenced disabilities, particularly through war and colonialism. The trio explores the need for inclusive narratives, the impact of labor history on disability, and the evolution of terms like 'impairment,' advocating for recognition of disabled voices within scientific discourse.
