The video team consisted of THINK’s editor Daiva Repečkaitė, Dr Anne-Marie Callus from the Department of Disability Studies, and UM’s videographers, James Moffett and Sarah Zammit. The Department of Cognitive Science provided the props, and the Library kindly offered the venue.
HUMS marked the conferment of an honorary doctorate on Dr Andrè Callus by inviting him to discuss his activism in detail, shedding light not only on his background but also on the meaning behind the activism.

The work is by Maltese artist Prof. Trevor Borg, titled In the Balance.
