Ep1: Disability. A Parallel History Parallel worlds.

[3-part documentary] Episode 1 of 3 - Parallel Worlds. Prehistory - 1400s In this new Yarn Miniseries I’m going to give you a rough history of Disability. The story of Disability runs in parallel with the story of humanity itself and like the story of humanity, some of it isn’t pretty. It involves murder, neglect, segregation and sterilisation but it’s also a story of innovation, determination and love. In episode one I define what a disability is before diving into the past. I start with the Neanderthals, checking in with the Egyptians, the Celts, the Ancient Romans and I also highlight the effect organised Religion has on the perception of people with a disability. Written and narrated by John Roche. - Full episode transcript available here: - Sources Short history of disability By Dr Robert Jackson MN Department of Administration - Council on Development Disabilities World Bank Historic England History Channel PBS United Nations Human Rights Office of High Commissioner Dr. William Bronston, Willowbrook Memorial Lecture Welcome Collection IWM Archive RTE Archive The Times Archive Special Olympics JSTOR IPC Greek Gods info YouTube
