Workshop Facilitator: Jay Dolmage

In this workshop, we will collaborate to address the ableist attitudes, policies, and practices that are built into higher education. We will also interrogate the minimal and temporary means we have been given to address inequities, and the cost such an approach has for disabled students and faculty. Finally, we will explore how to design our own classrooms, in advance, in ways that anticipate and welcome different avenues for learning, means of expression, and modes of knowledge-creation.
