Disability Justice: from individual rights to collective power (Fall 2025)
Disability Justice is a framework that prioritizes disabled women, indigenous, people of color, queer, trans, gender-nonconforming and other historically excluded groups recognizing the political and social structures that work against their rights for power and access. This session provides an introduction to the tenants of disability justice and identifies key differences between disability rights – and the work that still exists to bring collective power to the disabled community, especially those with intersecting identities.
Learning Outcomes:
- Define disability from the social justice perspective
- Identify ableism and recognize its power in society
- Understand differences between disability rights and disability justice
