An example might be: what is the classification system & how does it work? In your opinion, what areas to do with the Paralympics need to be explained more clearly to aid understanding? The videos will be from a social sciences perspective. #Paris2024 #paralympics #Disability

My discussion with @TommyShakes is available as an audio podcast: tinyurl.com/mrhy92nv In the below clip, we discuss the concept of universalism, the idea that we're all impaired to different degrees. I asked Tom why this idea is not seen as common sense & accepted widely 👇

It was great speaking with Alexander Aucott on FRANCE 24 English about the Paralympics. We talked about the history of the Paralympics and its development. I also considered some athletes to watch. I was on at 12.20pm (ish) if you want to watch it on demand. #Paris2024 #paralympics

It was lovely to chat with Marie Billon about the #Paralympics. We discussed the legacy of the London 2012 Paralympic Games. I'm looking forward to your article on Mediapart and (hopefully) the segment on RFI.
