  10. Not becoming-adult BUT‘becoming-in-the-world-together’(with Jen and her disabled peers)

  12. Freyja and the high-heeled shoes

  13. Interviewer: So I see you’re disabled: what would you actually do here? Freyja: I’d do what the job specification requires of me: I’d look after the children. Interviewer: But how? Freyja: My assistants do the physical stuff I can’t, while I did the more emotional side of it. To kids, it just isn’t a problem.
