Description:
Registration is now open for the Inaugural Anti-Ableism and Disability Justice Symposium hosted by the Office of Equity and Inclusive Communities (OEIC) in collaboration with the Office of the Provost to bring you the inaugural Anti-Ableism & Disability Justice Symposium. All are welcome!
Together, we will critically examine ableism, learn more on disability justice, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, to create greater awareness within the wider KPU community and to foster collaboration for change.
This one day symposium will feature a keynote by Dr. Laverne Jacobs, Professor of Law, University of Windsor, Research Chair in Disability Equality and Administrative Justice and Canada’s representative to the UNCRPD, as well as a panel discussion featuring Dr. Michael Bach, Dr. Rheanna Robinson, and Dr. Erika Cedillo.
All staff, faculty, students, and community members are welcome to attend. Lunch, a low sensory space, and ASL interpretation will be provided. Masks are recommended.
