Generous Listening
with the 'On Being Ill' Podcast
On Being Ill: Conversations on Creativity, Disability, and Identity is a podcast that aims to platform innovative thinkers working at the intersections of creativity and disability. On our podcast, you’ll hear conversations about illness, chronic pain, crip joy, and how we’re harnessing the capacity of our creative praxes to build worlds for disability. Season Four of our podcast, which was created in partnership with the H.E.A.L. Health Care Project, features conversations with guests who specialize in decolonial thinking. Guests offer ways to contend with, and account for, personal biases so that medicine and healthcare can be delivered in a way that is more equitable, just, and patient-centred. Alongside these episodes, we invite you to follow the prompts offered in our Resource Guide to engage in "generous listening" as you reflect on the discussions.
