FCP Homework
Since Autumn last Year, DASH has introduced Homework to each monthly FCP meeting. We invite the FCP network partners to read and reflect on a piece of writing or work that we feel is relevant to the ongoing learning and sharing of the Future Curators Programe.
Please find links to these below.

Additional Reading (for those who are really keen!)   

  • If you'd like to dive even further into reading about disability justice, this early text reflects on the differences between the disability rights and disability justice movements in North America: Skin, Tooth and Bone: The Basis of Movement is our People, a disability justice primer by Sins Invalid – see page 4 for the full list of contributors (11 mins reading time)  

You can read more about the origin and definition of disability justice as a movement and framework from the Disability & Philanthropy Forum, previously shared by email by past DASH Curator, Jade Foster (4 mins reading time)

This week's theme is “comedy series' and Stand Up!”

We've selected some of our favourite comedians who could identify as disabled (anxiety, adhd, dyslexia, depression, endometriosis, chronic ill health, autism).

This might not feel relevant, but for us it's 100% relevant! Things are tough at the moment, and we want to laugh together.
