Our grad series continues this episode with an exploration of the history of disability in Ontario. We speak with recent MA History graduate Carolyn Fast (BA '14, MA '21), whose MA thesis focussed on the stories of people who experienced institutionalization and explores the continuing impact of this lesser-known aspect of Ontario history.\nBetween 1876 and 2009, more than 50,000 people with intellectual disabilities were housed in institutions across Ontario. \xa0Carolyn shares how her research on the institutionalization experience can help us think about COVID, long term care, the housing crisis, and inclusive education.\n\xa0\nLinks\nThe Un-Making of Difference: The Winding Road of Deinstitutionalization in Ontario, 1960-2018\xa0 Carolyn Fast (MA thesis, 2021)\nHumanities Spirit of Brock winners have sights set on helping others (Brock News, June 25, 2021)\nMaster of Arts in History\nDepartment of History\xa0\nPeople First\xa0\nPartners for Planning\nCommunity Living Ontario\n\xa0\nCredits\nThank you for listening to Foreword.\xa0\nFind our footnotes, links\xa0to\xa0more information,\xa0transcripts,\xa0and past episodes on our website\xa0brocku.ca/humanities.\xa0\nWe love to hear from our listeners!
