A talk about mental health illness with Allison Isbell

Name: Walter

Social Justice Group: Disabilities: Access to Education for Neurodiversity (A)

Date of Fieldwork: January 2, 2025

Name of Organization and person (people) with whom you met and their title(s):Allison Isbell

What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork:

The interview went amazing. Although we changed our topic a bit beforehand Victoria took charge of questions. We drafted a couple questions in the cafeteria then headed over to her office and waited outside. We asked her if we could record and she said yes than we asked her our questions.

She never answered our questions with a simple yes or no always going into detail. 8 questions took 20 minutes! In which she also showed us this book about mental health and 30 minutes later we emailed him. Thank you Allison.
