[Journalists] Important J. Grant, NIH, Health Rep.

[GL Norman]

Friends:
See.
Action: By this Friday, I welcome ideas, examples, cautions, or even questions that I should contemplate. I would be happy to chat telephonically.
This fortnight I will start intellectually but when at the computer physically drafting a raw proposal that I hope will become both practical and reflective. At its center is a question I keep returning to: how might we more intentionally connect animals, disability, faith, and an inclusive vision of public health shaped by people with disabilities themselves?
I am especially interested in moving beyond models that treat disabled people as passive recipients of generosity or institutional largesse. In my view, people with disabilities possess the knowledge and authority to define what health, wellness, dignity, and flourishing should mean in practice.
The ICJS Fellowship I begin this fall gives me a timely reason to think about faith and public health. I welcome ways of connecting that work to reflections and stories.
