  1. Last presentation of the day! Elizabeth Barnes stresses the need to decouple "health" and "wellbeing," and to not necessarily decouple "disability" and "health". Notes the common theme in #DisabilityPride spaces that you can love your life AND be disabled, and it doesn't need to be DESPITE disability. Also points reductionism in most definitions of health #DHERN #DisabilityHERN #Sociology #Philosophy #DisabilityStudies #research #conference #health #disability #ChronicIllness #wellbeing

  2. I am HERE for the COVID example! Thank you Dr. Krahn! Notes that COVID has amplified pre-existing disparities, suggests that not enough attention was paid to these exacerbations. Asks, could this be because of the lacking attention to disabled people as a social group? #disability #conference #research #ChronicIllness #DisabilityHERN #DHERN #health #HealthEquity #DisabilityRights #COVID19 #Inequality #HealthDisparities

  3. Next up at the Disability Health Equity Research Network virtual conference: Gloria Krahn and Susan Havercamp discuss the usefulness of looking at disability as a demographic characteristic rather than as an outcome in health disparities research. How should we define disability with regard to health? #DisabilityHERN #DHERN #conference #VirtualConference #Research #Academia #Sociology #DisabilityStudies #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #HealthDisparities #ChronicIllness #Health #Disability
