In this episode, I speak with Dr. Fady Shanouda (he/him). Dr. Shanouda is a critical disability studies scholar who draws on feminist new materialism to examine disabled and mad students\' experiences in higher education. His scholarly contributions lie at the theoretical and pedagogical intersections of disability, mad, and fat studies and include socio-historical examinations that surface the interconnections of colonialism, racism, ableism, sanism, and queer- and transphobia. Fady also created and hosts the podcast, Disability Saves the World, where he interviews disabled, mad, and fat scholars, activists, and artists. He is an assistant professor at the Pauline Jewett Institute of Women\'s and Gender Studies at Carleton University, where he conducts his work diversely positioned as a queer, disabled, fat, PoC, immigrant and settler, living, working, and creating on the ancestral and traditional territories of the Algonquin nation.
