Join host Carrie Basas as she engages in a heartfelt conversation with guest Sarah Arvey Tov on the Rooted in Washington Podcast. The episode delves into Sarah's journey from a special education teacher to a graduate student, and then from a graduate student to a professor, researcher, and new mom, touching on pivotal moments in their collaboration for a Washington state disability history and pride projects called One Out of Five (https://www.oeo.wa.gov/en/education-issues/one-out-five-disability-history-and-pride-project). Sarah shares the significance of intergenerational disability communities, the evolution of her work on disability justice, and the challenges and joys of parenting twins.
