DESCRIPTION:Lecture: 15:00-16:30\n	Light cocktail will follow\n\nDescription
 :\n\nOne of public health’s missions remains to prevent chronic diseases\,
  mental illness\, and severe injuries\, although they are all part of the 
 human condition. This ableist view encourages discrimination\, harmful ste
 reotypes\, and abuse of people with disabilities in the healthcare system 
 as well as epistemic injustices towards their narrative and way of thinkin
 g about their different functioning. This presentation discusses the probl
 ematic relationship between public health and disability and underlines ho
 w different meanings of disability represent a significant challenge for p
 ublic health. This communication aims to expose the connection between cap
 italism and ableism and its impact on public health. From a disability jus
 tice perspective\, I will develop the notion of “capacitalism” that I coin
 ed to highlight the hidden liberal dimension of the public health system a
 nd its aims to sustain performance society norms. This concept is directly
  inspired by a disability justice framework and calls for implementing a d
 isability cultural competency.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nAgnès Berthelot-Raffard
