The following podcast series were produced in upper-division courses taught by Dr. Ilyan Ferrer, Associate Professor in Carleton University’s School of Social Work.

Autistics Speak by Lauren Moyer

Autistics Speak is an intersectional autistic advocacy program/podcast that gives a space for autistics that are silenced and underrepresented to talk about ableism and its connection to other oppressions. The podcast challenges the mainstream narrative of autism and goes into the history of it too.

Off the Beaten Track by Arden Chan

This particular three-episode arc of “Off the Beaten Track” is on polyamory, and to a lesser degree, general consensual non-monogamy. The aim of this arc is to diminish the silence and stigma surrounding polyamory, and to encourage its exploration on social, academic, and personal levels. It was created by Michelle Chan, in grateful collaboration with speakers Kaine, Kelly, Isabella, and Spike.
