Rethinking Diversity, Reintroducing Disability
A Panel Discussion
Disability is too often left out of the academic and political discourse concerning equity, diversity and inclusion. Yet disability is a core aspect of these values and intersects with all other marginalized groups for which equity, diversity, and inclusion are critical. Join us for a lively panel discussion with esteemed disability scholars and activists from the Bay Area to discuss disability history, identity, rights, and movements.

Denise Sherer Jacobson (writer, disability educator, and archivist)
Lainey Feingold (author and disability rights lawyer)
Paul Grossman (civil rights attorney and emeritus Professor of Law, UC Hastings)
Gagan Chhabra (moderator) (Department of Social Work and Social Policy at Oslo Metropolitan University; affiliated, Anthropology at UC Berkeley)
