True Inclusion is Revolutionary: Practicing Disability Justice Come learn & practice the principles of disability inclusion, exploring how they apply to you and your work. This social justice training will center the experiences of people with disabilities, but will also cover issues of race, class, gender and citizenship, particularly as they intersect with disability experience. We will discuss where the disability movement is right now and why, how each of us can help end ableism, and how to ensure the people in our sphere are getting the right messages about disability.
Session Objectives: This participatory workshop will involve some key exercises as well as
- Reviewing definitions and terms around anti-ableism and disability
- Contextualizing why disability is left out of the diversity, equity, and inclusion discussion
- Discussing how can we change our behavior to be more inclusive
- Understanding what might be the challenges and benefits to being more inclusive and accessible to students, faculty, and staff with disabilities
