Overview
In this 2-part workshop, we will define disability and ableism, and unpack the challenges and triumphs of this specific community in the United States. We will focus on these impacts within higher education. We will review terminology and history in service of introducing the Disability Justice (DJ) framework, recognizing how ableism shows up in our lives, and planning for how we can create a more inclusive atmosphere in higher education. Part 1 is required before taking Part 2.
