In her recently published book\, On Belonging: Find ing Connection in an Age of Isolation\, Kim Samuel\, founder of the Samuel Centre for Cocial Connec tedness\, explores the efforts of trailblazing individuals and organiza tions working across disciplines and continents to combat the barriers to f ully and effectively participating in society faced by persons with disabil ities\, older persons\, and many other historically marginalized groups. Sa muel also puts forth a challenge to think about what a “right to belong\,” reminiscent of Jacobus tenBroek’s conception of the “right to live in the world” and participatory just ice for persons with disabilities\, might mean in practice for these divers e communities. At this event\, members of and advocates for several of thes e intersectional groups\, including persons with intellectual disabilities\ , persons with psychosocial disabilities\, and older persons\, will reflect on what belonging and social connectedness mean for the diverse communitie s they represent.
