Disability Inclusion in Academic STEM Careers
Disability Inclusion in Academic STEM Careers
Through our project AccessADVANCE, we aim to promote an intersectional approach for increasing the participation and advancement of STEM faculty with disabilities. Attendees will learn about approaches to access, discuss issues in their institutions, and identify potential strategies to increase accessibility. Despite decades of work related to equity among STEM faculty, very little of this work has addressed faculty with disabilities. Participants in this workshop will learn about approaches to access, discuss issues related to accessibility at their own institutions, and identify potential strategies to increase accessibility for STEM faculty.
3 hours
Speakers will include members of the AccessADVANCE leadership team: Sheryl Burgstahler, Brianna Blaser, Canan Bilen-Green, Cali Anicha, and Cecilia Aragon. We have not developed the final agenda and will invite additional qualified speakers.
