About Lucy Webster
Hello!
Welcome to The View From Down Here - a newsletter all about disability, ableism and how to be an ally - by me, Lucy Webster.
Every week I share a musing about my life as a young(ish) disabled woman that I think demystifies disability or challenges ableist assumptions.
Usually, I use something that’s happened to me or that I’ve been thinking about in my own life to illuminate a wider point. Occasionally I’ll explain an idea from disability theory, share a fascinating part of disability history, review a disability-focused cultural offering, comment on a political development that affects disabled people, or lay out some tips to being a better ally. Disabled life is rich and varied, so this newsletter is too!
