Disability Justice is currently trending on social media and within larger social justice movement spaces. But what does disability justice mean for college students? This interactive Zoom workshop hosted by the MCC and CODE will begin with a brief overview of disability as an intersectional identity and experience. Next, participants will learn how to utilize the principles of Disability Justice to recognize and disrupt academic ableism. Lastly, there will be ample time to ask questions and engage in discussion.
