Your blog raised several important points that resonated with me:

1. Institutional Secularism and Student Discomfort
While a secular, individualistic, and liberal framework aims to be inclusive, i…Read more

Your reflection powerfully highlights how patriarchy and cultural traditions intersect with religion in sustaining such practices.

I found your point about the disconnect b…Read more

Your reference to Jawad’s (2022) point that “the significance of religious belief in people’s lives should not be underestimated” is particularly striking. As non-religious individuals, with no visible markers of faith, religion may not always be at the forefront of our minds.…Read more

I also found your point about how students disclose disabilities based on cultural background very insightful. In my research on visible disability, I came across Kaitlyn Yang, who shared that her parents left China and moved to the U.S. to…Read more

“The more people advocating for visibility within society for disabled people the sooner the barriers can be removed to bring about equity.”
“I felt disheartened that as a disabled woman she felt that she had to force her own identity so that she could be heard.”
It seems to me that disabled people like Ch…Read more

As my subject of study Kaitlyn Yang says that non-disabled people assume everyone has non-disabled bodies and create this kind of world as a status quo… She a…Read more
