Academic Ableism and its Alternatives

View ASL transcript for event description. 

In this workshop led by Dr. Jay Dolmage, 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 students and faculty. We will then work together to share and develop strategies and tools for a much more accessible classroom and campus.
