A Response to “ Black Panther
Film and media hold great influence over perceptions and attitudes towards the experience of disability and have the potential to either affirm or disrupt disability stigma.

No research thus far has focussed on the role of occupation for healing in contexts of sustained violence. Aim: To explore the role of occupations in the h…
