Through a discussion about the role of disability within the lens of diversity; we’ll explore possible similarities between the civil rights movement and the disability rights movement, and the intersection of concepts such as ableism and able bodied privilege. We’ll also approach disability as culture and the various models of disability in society today. Along the way, we’ll also address how we all play an important role in effectively engaging campus, and society, to break the norms that have placed barriers in front of people with disabilities.
