This event was our FRIENDS November 2020 community event. It was an invitation to discuss different ways of viewing stuttering and other themes from the book Stammering Pride and Prejudice: Difference not Defect. “We challenge the stereotype that stuttering is inherently negative, instead positioning it as a different, valuable and respected way of speaking,” say editors Patrick Campbell, Christopher Constantino and Sam Simpson. Combining personal narrative, art, and disability theory, the book documents how society has historically disabled people who stutter and the diverse ways in which people have created novel and exciting understandings of their speech. The authors listed below were invited to either read a selection from their chapter, offer a reflection, share an idea, or all three! After each sharing, there was a discussion. We went in the order the chapters appear in the book - "an order that begins in the depths of prejudice, wanders through therapy, and arrives at pride.” Preview the book here: https://a.co/0FUlQpK View more events in our Community Series here: https://www.friendswhostutter.org/community-series/
