<![CDATA[Being an Unperson]]>I gave a presentation a few years back at Easter Seals Central California for staff who worked there. The following video was made from the text of one of my handouts for that presentation. It addresses the extreme dehumanization experienced by people in that system, and that had probably taken place in the lives of almost all the adults served by the agency, including me.
Note that I thought people might have got sick of watching me sit around flicking my hands around, so I did most of it from a different perspective this time. Also note that the things I talk about are far more widely applicable than just the system I was describing to them at the time.
