As we reach the end of July, Lambda is proud to continue celebrating the powerful movement that this month tries to highlight in just 31 days: Disability Pride. Far more than just a series of events, Disability Pride seeks to raise awareness, challenge dominant conceptions, and promote inclusivity for people of all abilities. It is a time when we embrace the unique experiences and perspectives that individuals with disabilities bring to our communities, workplaces, and society and reflect on how we can make these places more inclusive and equitable to all.
If you would like to read up on disability awareness, how disability is fashioned in literature, or the theory which underlies disability justice, we have a collection of enlightening articles previously published in the Lambda Literary Review below:
