Join Equity Across the Curriculum for a Zoom webinar designed to help faculty, staff, students, and other campus members understand disability justice and how it plays out in university settings.

When and Where: Online Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at 2-4pm PST


Advance Registration Required by Apr 15 at https://forms.gle/DeN2aYZ69HzHNYdj8


Zoom link will be sent to registrants on the day of the event.

Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha (they/she), disability and transformative justice activist and author of Care Work: Dreaming of Disability Justice, The Future Is Disabled: Prophecies, Love Notes and Mourning Songs, and many other books will lead a rich conversation followed by a Q&A. Topics will range from how access centers can be both strong allies and gatekeepers to access for disabled students, police violence against disabled students, ideas for staff and professors on creating inclusive classrooms and campus spaces, and how campus organizing intersects with disability justice, physical and cognitive and language justice.

At this event we will have live CART captioning as well as ASL interpreters. Additional accommodation requests related to a disability should be made through the registration link. If you have further questions, contact the EAC members Gavin Doyle (gdoyle@uw.edu), Nora Kenworthy (njk8@uw.edu), or Penelope Wood (woodpd@uw.edu)
