In this talk, Dr. Sarrett will discuss her research on parental and professional experiences of autism in Kerala, India and Atlanta, Georgia. This work demonstrates how Westernization influences the ways non-Western cultures integrate concepts of autism into their cultural concepts of illness, family, and normality. She will discuss this work in the context of global bioethics, global disability studies, and the unidirectional nature of psychiatric influence. Register on the Zoom link!
