What to Expect

During the 2021 symposium, we will:

  *   explore strategies for obtaining equity in society and overcoming the disadvantages of artificial barriers that frequently bar persons with disabilities from full participation;
  *   focus on the intersectional identities of persons with disabilities and how our various identities impose certain burdens, grant special benefits, and impact equality of rights and opportunities; and
  *   pursue integrationism—economic opportunity, social equality, and personal dignity for ourselves and all members of our disability rights community.

What’s on the Agenda

  *   impacts and outcomes of marginalization and intersectionality on mental and physical health,
  *   race and gender issues in the civil commitment process,
  *   accessibility laws and how they apply to health plans,
  *   perspectives on disability in the US Muslim communities,
  *   the ADA in social and human service settings,
  *   digital accessibility and the development of guidelines for attorneys on both sides,
  *   voting rights for people with disabilities under the ADA,
  *   connecting disability work with broader diversity and inclusion work,
  *   and more!
