The high cost of living in a disabling world
For all the advances that have been made in recent decades, disabled people cannot yet participate in society ‘on an equal basis’ with others – and the pandemic has led to many protections being cruelly eroded
The Guardian,
2021
Recommendation
Norwegian professor Jan Grue’s thoughtful, thought-provoking essay in The Guardian offers insight into his wheelchair-bound life. Becoming disabled can be like entering a different world. Formerly easy actions become difficult or impossible. Those with disabilities, living or working with a disabled person, advocating fair treatment for the disabled or accepting the risk of future disability will benefit from Grue’s frank, illuminating account.
