The Intersection of Politics and Fandom: An Interview with Dr. Phoenix CS Andrews
In this episode of Diselectability, Aar Jae Williams (Eira-Auri) interviews Dr. Phoenix CS Andrews, author of 'I Heart Politics,' which explores the theory of political fandom culture and its impacts in the age of mass-market popular culture. Dr. Andrews, who is disabled and neurodivergent, shares insights on how autism and ADHD influence his perspective on political engagement. The discussion delves into the intersections of fandom, populism, conspiracy theories, and the broader implications for disabled and marginalised communities. Additionally, they touch on Dr. Andrews' personal journey with late diagnoses of several disabilities and the unique challenges and experiences that come with it. The episode also explores how disabled people navigate political spaces, the representation of neurodivergent and transgender individuals in media, and how supportive fandoms provide community and identity. Upcoming episodes will feature interviews relevant to disability and politics, including a talk with former government minister Robert Buckland on government policies affecting disabled people.
