How We Move Forward: The Fight for Disability Justice
Judith (Judy) Heumann
Online
Judith (Judy) Heumann is a lifelong advocate for the rights of disabled people. She contracted polio in 1949 in Brooklyn, New York and began to use a wheelchair for her mobility. She was denied the right to attend school because she was considered a “fire hazard” at the age of five. Her parents played a strong role in fighting for her rights as a child, but Judy soon determined that she, working in collaboration with other disabled people, had to play an advocacy role due to continuous discrimination.
Co-sponsored by the Women’s Center, DSP, UCSB Library, Disability Studies Initiative (RFG, Interdisciplinary Humanities Center), Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, Graduate Division, and Feminist Futures.

Immigration, Identities, and Injustice
MCC Theater
With immigration as a critical theme in current presidential debates, the discourse around undocumented immigrants reduces issues facing complex communities while ignoring systemic injustices. A panel of UCSB faculty and advocates will highlight marginalized identities within the larger undocumented community and consider the debates about citizenship, enforcement, and immigration reform through a human rights lens. The panel will be moderated by Dr. William Robinson, professor of Sociology, Global Studies, and Latin American Studies at UCSB.

In Between the Seams: Mix’d Ingrdnts Dance Company
MCC Theater
In a world where the meaning of connection is rapidly changing and evolving, we explore the value and challenges of connection—with ourselves, our environments, and each other. Through a diverse mixture of movement and poetic prose, the all-female multi-genre, mixed-race dance company Mix'd Ingrdnts’ performance of In Between the Seams pushes boundaries and broadens understanding of the importance of human connection.
