Talk:Catherine Frazee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While I removed the Notability warning, I'm not sure the following items meet WP notability standards:

The primary focus of her activism is the rights, identity, experience, and well-being of persons with disabilities. "Access is not just ramps and parking spaces", Frazee says, "There is also the need to access the human community." [1] On the Philia Dialogue on Caring Citizenship [2], Frazee further elaborates upon her ideas about access, citizenship, and what makes us a 'caring community'. "Relationships matter every bit as much as rights. Citizenship means having rights, but it also means belonging. Belonging in schools and universities, in places of work and places of worship, in politics, art and commerce; belonging in family, community and nation. Our rights as equal citizens, arguably, should get us in the front door. But once we are inside, our citizen's place of belonging assures us (or ought to) that we will be valued and heard" [3] Frazee publicly addressed the Tracy Latimer murder controversy in 1995[4] as an example of how "the non-disabled majority's perceptions about disablement are very distorted, seeing (disablement) as greatly diminishing (an individual's) quality of life" [5] She also responded to the Kimberly Rogers inquiry in Ontario with an article printed in the Globe and Mail in 2002 [6], in which she discusses Michael Ignatieff's Rights Revolution, John Locke's Social Contract, in which he argues that indivaduals are "free, equal and independent", the concept of "precarious citizenship", and the relationship of those concepts to the conditions of poverty and disability [7]

I've placed the text here rather than delete. These appear to be unrelated statements made on non-notable websites, from an WP point of view. Shawn in Montreal 02:03, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
