Location: AIC 433 (Psychology lounge)
Workshop Description: Drawing from my Dr. Bogart's insights as a disabled academic psychologist and leader of the Disability Advocacy and Research Network (DARN), this workshop will interrogate and interrupt ableism in psychology research, teaching, and training. We will discuss designing educational and research practices with accessibility and inclusion “baked in.” Academic psychology has a leaky pipeline, with more disabled students entering than who attain degrees and reach faculty positions. We will consider systems and practices contributing to these disparities. Attendees will have the opportunity to work through their own real-world case studies, and we will work toward developing educational materials and interventions that truly interrupt stigma and ableism.
