The Disability Justice & Building Accessible Communities Panel explores the barriers students with disabilities face within educational systems, including stigma, inaccessible structures, and the gap between basic accommodations and meaningful inclusion.
Through lived experiences, panel discussions, audience participation, and opportunities for informal connection, the event creates space to challenge assumptions about disability and imagine more accessible, inclusive communities. The panel also highlights accessibility as a shared social responsibility rather than an issue of individual resilience or charity.
The event is designed with accessibility at its core, including hybrid participation, online engagement, accessible and allergen-friendly refreshments, and honorariums for panelists and moderators.
