Gender Advocacy and Inclusion Network in Higher Ed’s Post

Meet our presenter, Jaime! Read more about their session through the link in our bio. Ableism in the Academy: Reimagining Dis/ability Justice The stories that shape dis/abiilty are often deficit-based, medicalized and remove agency from dis/abled folx. This workshop will aim to guide participants in their work with dis/abled students in a way that promotes both autonomy and agency. We will discuss strategies to de-medicalize dis/ablity by learning to crip student narratives and experiences. Primarily by, discussing language and vocabulary around ableism and dis/ability; and, strategies for creating inclusive dis/ability spaces in classrooms and campuses. This will be interactive and collaborative, with an aim to leave with new skills in the area of dis/ability justice.
