Our presentation is about the intersection of Disability Studies curriculum and access and equity for disabled students in the classroom. Drawing from our own experiences in the CESC concentration we will discuss how Disability Studies relates to Ethnic Studies curricula as well as make recommendations for how to improve access for disabled students to these types of programs that are often treated as enrichment, not mandatory curriculum.
Presentations deriving from capstone seminar in the community engagement and social change concentration with Denys Candy, director of the Jandon center for community engagement – including the impacts of sports on youth; meritocracy and affordable housing; approaches to educational inequalities, and more.
