In this compelling episode of Twenty-First Century Disability, we welcome Dr. Jeff Preston, a distinguished professor of Disability Studies at Western University. Dr. Preston discusses his insightful research on the depiction of mental health issues through the narratives of the Joker character in Batman films and examines themes of mental health and masculinity through the lens of popular television. His expertise sheds light on how these portrayals reflect and shape societal attitudes towards mental health and disability.
