Kathleen Bogart: Creating Space for Disability-Led Research

Send us a text; we would love to hear from you! In this episode of Broadcastability, we speak to Kathleen Bogart, the Elizabeth P. Ritchie Distinguished Professor at the School of Psychological Science at Oregon State University. Dr. Bogart was born with Moebius syndrome, a rare type of facial paralysis. Drawn to psychology as an undergraduate student, Dr. Bogart was inspired to continue her studies with a focus on her disability but was faced with a total lack of scholarship on Moebius syndrome. During this episode of Broadcastability, Dr. Bogart takes us through her academic and professional journey, which led to her pioneering the intersectional research of Moebius syndrome and psychology. Now, Dr. Bogart is passionate about understanding the differences between acquired and congenital disabilities, supporting her graduate students, and further exploring how disability identity is shaped through other, intersectional identities.  Credits: Interviewers: Chloë Atkins and Lark Huska Editing: Lark Huska Artwork: Isabelle Avakumovic-Pointon Music: Justin Laurie Transcripts: Lark Huska and Charlotte Flameng Support the show
