RESCHEDULED FOR SPRING: More Than a Diagnosis: Exploring Disability as Identity and Human Diversity
This roundtable discussion will provide an opportunity for participants to engage in meaningful conversation about disability as an integral part of personal identity as opposed to merely a diagnosis or condition. Participants will explore how disability intersects with culture, race, and other aspects of identity while challenging common misconceptions.
