This interactive workshop will discuss how disability stereotypes and microaggressions shape the disability experience and inform our personal and professional behaviors and attitudes.  In order to promote meaningful inclusion on college and university campuses, we must recognize the pervasiveness of these ideas and reframe our work and attitudes to align with social justice values.

When we understand disability in a context of social justice and ableism, a cultural experience very much influenced by dynamics of power and privilege, we can begin to unpack the many ways disabled people are targets of bias and microaggressions and how these ideas manifest in higher education.
