The Arrogance of Ableism

How does whiteness impact what we think is ‘normal’?

How does our sense of what is ‘normal’ impact the way we interact with others?

How does ableism show up in work, spiritual, and interpersonal spaces? 

In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill discusses how whiteness intersects with ableism, and how what we think is ‘normal’ is the lens through which we experience the world and interact with others. She shares some of her own experiences with the arrogance of ableism and some ways to break free from behaviors that might be harmful to others.
