The Newsroom Episode 1

Roar News Editor Emma Fallside sits down with Florian Hansen, the founder of KCLSU’s new student disability campaign: Adjust! KCL. We discuss Florian’s experience with King’s administration, how and why he began his campaign, and how “strategic inefficiency” has become normalized in university administration to the detriment of all students.  Running through our conversation is the undercurrent of Sara Ahmed’s theory and research around institutional inefficiency and the systematic failures of universities to provide disability support. You can read her blog here for more background on the persistence of these issues beyond what we discuss in this podcast: https://feministkilljoys.com/author/feministkilljoys/

The relevant show notes we mention in our discussion are included below.
