Dear Listers
In about a week's time I am teaching a course on ethics to some PhD
neuroscientists. We cover a lot of ground, and I try to bring inmultiple
perspectives (incl disability studies) throughout. On the final day we have
one dedicated session about concepts of health, disease, ability, normality
etc. It will be late on a Friday afternoon, everyone will be tired and want
to go home, etc, so I want to some video to wake them up.
Ideal would be some snippet from a movie that expressed something that
*challenged* accepted ideas about normality/abnormality and similar topics,
that we could use as basis for discussion. Given constraints of time, not
too long a snippet, and a film readily commercially available (ie I can go
down the video shop and rent it).
Suggestions, anyone?
Gratefully
Jackie

Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be
tired. You look good when you're tired. You look like you could go on
forever.
