Shulan Tien, Fu-Jen University
Shulan Tien, PhD Candidate in Psychology at Fu-Jen University, Taiwan, has been working as an instructor, consultant, activist and community organizer in disability, not just based on a rights approach, but also about the social meaning of disability itself, the political constructions that produces/defines/perpetuates it; and the social relations among and around so-called people with disabilities. Between 2008 and 2010, she went to Toronto, Canada to study the psychiatric survivor movement.
