Recognizing and Interrupting Ableism
This session will cover the foundational concepts of ableism. Ableism is the structural oppression of groups and individuals based on ability and/or disability. This session will discuss how ableism exists as a system and manifests in the workplace. This includes attention to disability history, physical disability, neurodiversity, increasing access, and more. Participants will engage activities to deepen their knowledge about disability, ableism and approaches to disrupting structural barriers that persist to exclude groups based on ability.
Facilitated by: Elizabeth Jones, Ph.D., Director for Education and Outreach
