"It’s an outdated trope, and it has an impact." This Halloween, we’ll see villains in films and costumes using scars or visible differences to look "scary." It's time to change that.
Our #IAmNotYourVillain campaign calls for more heroes & sidekicks with visible differences. 🦋

Very excited to have received some great proposals. If you haven't sent yours yet there's still time! We would be particularly interested to have more papers on disability and philanthropy, decolonising philanthropy and how philanthropy is (or isn't) embedded in teaching!
