Abstract:
|
Individuals with disabilities are often viewed differently than other marginalized groups; their experience is frequently described as 'suffering' or 'managing' with little emphasis on the positive qualities that disabled folks, as well as accommodations designed for disabled folks, bring to our communities. This presentation will focus
on overcoming internalized ableism and emphasizing Disability Pride, with special emphasis on making our campus environments welcoming and celebratory of the wide variety of disabilities in our spaces. |
