In this episode, I’m speaking with Professor Emily Lim Rogers. Emily is a Disability Studies researcher and educator who specializes in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or ME/CFS.
She is the Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Disability Studies in the Department of American Studies, the Program in Science, Technology, and Society, and the Cogut Institute for the Humanities at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, in the U.S.
In our conversation, Emily explores:

• The nature of ME/CFS.
• How people with ME/CFS and MCS struggle to have these illnesses understood and accepted.
• Online activism as a way for people with chronic illnesses to call for change.
• The impacts of capitalism on people with ME/CFS and MCS.
• How long COVID could potentially lead to more research and understanding about ME/CFS and MCS.
