SUNY Webinar: Disability, Ableism and Digital Accessibility Online
Utilizing a Disability Studies lens, this webinar will explore cultural understandings of disability and accessibility challenges that occur in higher education and society, highlighting the experiences of disabled people. Attendees will explore ableism as a form of oppression, identify its presence in social and cultural contexts, and examine the impact of ableism on disabled and non-disabled individuals. Participants will discover how ableism is replicated in society and institutions of higher education and identify ways to make our communities more inclusive of all bodies and minds. We will also examine how ableism manifests in a pervasive lack of accessibility in physical, social, and digital spaces and identify effective approaches for mitigating these accessibility barriers. The webinar will emphasize the importance of faculty engagement in digital accessibility work to meet Title II requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the importance of accessible materials for all students.
