The Psychology of Ableism | Kathleen Bogart | TEDxUofW

In the age of zoom and masks, expression of body language can be limited. Professor Kathleen Bogart describes the even greater challenge of communication while living with Moebius Syndrome, which causes facial paralysis. Kathleen demonstrates how human emotion is universal and how we can adapt and learn from each other. Kathleen Bogart, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Oregon State University. As a person with a disability, she is passionate about researching, educating, and writing about ableism, or disability prejudice. Her research focuses on the psychosocial implications of living with disability, rare disorders, or facial differences such as Moebius syndrome. An advocate for people with disabilities, she has served on the American Psychological Association Committee on Disability Issues in Psychology, the Rehabilitation Psychology editorial board, and the Moebius Syndrome Foundation Scientific Advisory Board.
She is a 2021 Public Voices Fellow with the OpEd Project. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Time, The Conversation, the Financial Times, and Huffington Post, and she blogs for Psychology Today at www.psychologytoday.com/us/bl.... In 2019, she co-edited the Journal of Social Issues special issue on Ableism. Dr. Bogart presents internationally to academic, general, and stakeholder audiences about disability awareness, disability as diversity, and facial paralysis. She consults with organizations on disability advocacy.

This is such a wonderful video. I have cited Professor Bogart several times myself as a student looking into the continuum of disability prejudices. What a great force of scholastic accomplishment!!! Bravo Zulu!

I'm excited for a more inclusive society.
A society where everyone feels like they belong...
_because, they honestly do belong_

I’m actually surprised that people didn’t mistake it as autism, unless this was before the 2000s.
