In this Productivity During Pandemic talk we are joined by McMaster Sociology PhD Candidate Alan Martino. Alan talks to us today about intimate citizenship and the barriers to sexual spaces people with intellectual disabilities face. He draws upon a series of interviews he conducted for his dissertation to center the voices of those with intellectual disabilities in this important work.
