Academic Ableism and Its Alternatives.
Jun 7 2023, 12-1pm EST.
In this webinar, we will collaborate to address the ableist attitudes, policies, and practices that are built into higher education. We will also interrogate the minimal and temporary means we have been given to address inequities, and the cost such an approach has for disabled faculty. We will then work together to share and develop strategies and tools for a much more accessible culture, with a focus on why we need disabled people at the centre of our research ecosystem.
