In this episode of the History in 60 Companion Podcast, host John Loeppky speaks with Clay Ma, bilingual subject editor at The Canadian Encyclopedia, about how disability history gets recorded and how it sometimes disappears. From journalism and editorial decision-making to plain language summaries, alt text, and remote work, this conversation explores the practical and political realities of documenting disability in Canada. What does it mean to have a duty of representation? How do editors decide which stories get told? And how can media institutions create more space for disabled storytellers? Together, John and Clay examine how public memory is shaped not only by major events, but by who is paying attention and who is missing from the newsroom.

SHOW NOTES The History in 60 Podcast is the official companion to the television series History in 60 on AMI. While the series highlights key moments in Canada’s disability history, this podcast creates space to go deeper and explore the conversations shaping disability culture and public life today. Hosted by John Loeppky, each episode connects the history we see on screen with the people thinking, writing, and working in these areas right now. In this episode, we explore how the media shapes disability history. Disability history is not only defined by legislation or protest movements. It is shaped by journalism, editorial choices, archives, and education. It is shaped by which stories are documented and which are left out. Clay Ma joins us to discuss why editorial decisions matter in shaping public memory, the duty of representation in national publications, how disability history intersects with race, immigration, and other identities, accessibility in publishing including plain language summaries and alt text, the role of remote work in expanding equity of opportunity, and why writing to publications, both to challenge and to celebrate, matters. Clay shares how The Canadian Encyclopedia approaches disability coverage and how initiatives like plain language summaries support students and second-language learners. She explains how translation tools expand access beyond English and French and reflects on the importance of intersectionality in disability history and why national storytelling must move beyond narrow or tokenizing narratives. We also explore what it takes to create space for more disabled people in media and historical work. From flexible leadership and remote employment to broader cultural shifts in how disability expertise is valued, this conversation highlights the systemic changes required to create meaningful equity of opportunity.
