What are we talking about when we talk about disability? And how might the way we talk about disability in higher education affect our disabled students and colleagues? In this session we’ll discuss keywords and concepts from disability studies and analyze rhetorical choices that often manifest in discussions of disability. Participants will leave with concrete strategies and resources for co-creating a more accessible academy.
