Dr. Ann Fox, a professor of English specializing in dramatic literature and disabilities studies, joins co-hosts in this week's episode. Dr. Fox introduces the study of disability, and her work centering crip history and representation. We invite listeners to attune to the ableist undertones in Barbie, and explore possibilities to better center disability justice.
