If you have wanted to learn more ab
out disability (what does that label really mean?)\,<
/i> ableism (how does bias towards disability manifest in academia
and my own life?)\, a
ccessibility (how can I create equitable environments in my lab/classe
s?)\, and/or the inte
rsection between disability and Psychology\, this EDI Dialogue and Learning series hopes to create opportunities
for these conversations.
For all of us in the Department of Psychology\, discussions on dis ability are highly relevant to our work:
Join us for a two-part series o n 'Disability and Psychology' this December. Come to one or both sessions\, depending on your interests.
Wednesday\, December 13\, 2:00-3:30 PM
Online v ia Zoom
Following up on Dr. Gagnon’s visit\, here we hope to create a “cozy space” for conversations amongst department members on the intersections between disability\, ableis m\, and Psychology contexts more specifically. We’ll chat about the perspec tives on disability common to Psychology as a discipline\, and how disabili ty justice work might take place within our classes\, labs\, and work.
Let’s lean into the vibes of the holiday season: grab a mug of your warming-ist winter drink\, and gather 'r ound on Zoom with our Psychology community for open\, reflective conversati on. All are welcome: faculty\, staff\, post-docs\, graduate and undergradua te students\; disabled and non-disabled members.
