Disability and Adoption 
What does it mean to be disabled and at the same time a transnational adoptee in Scandinavia? In general, disability has been left out of the critical discussions on transnational adoption, and the participants in the panel Disability and Adoption would like to change this. We will share and discuss our viewpoints on topics such as welfare and health-care, and the typical narratives on adoption and adoptee life being disabled transnational adoptees ourselves who have grown up in the welfare states of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The discussion will be held in English. For those of you who are not able to attend in person, the discussion will be broadcasted as a podcast after the event.
Panel members: Mitja Kristine Munk Klarup,  Malin Young-Hee Bernt,  Angelica Bråten (UTAD)
Moderating by Mette A. E. Kim-Larsen, PhD student in Anthropology at UC Irvine with a background in Comparative Literature and Cultural studies.
