_______________________________________
Perspectives on Diversity and Inclusion Speaker Series - March 20

March 20, 2017, Marley 230, 1-2 pm
Reframing Disability - Implications for Teaching and Practice in Higher Education
Dr. Amanda Kraus, Director, Disability Resources

This presentation will explore prevalent models used to frame disability and discuss how these ideas impact our professional practice.  Typically, disability is understood as an individual problem, deficit or tragedy, not a sociopolitical phenomenon created and perpetuated by systemic design. Drawing from Disability Studies, we will problematize messages we receive about disability and discuss how to operationalize new thinking that will ultimately contribute to a more equitable and inclusive experience on campus.
