Disability Justice Book Club: Disability Allies Cohort

The EDI Scholars-in-Residence program is hosting a Disability Justice Book Club across Winter Term 2. The club, led by Dr. Jennifer Gagnon, will explore themes of disability justice, ableism, allyship, and what it means to be disabled in academia. We will read a selection of texts each month before meeting to discuss takeaways.

This club meeting is for the Disability Allies cohort. Join this cohort if you do not presently identify as disabled or would prefer not to disclose your relationship to disability, and would like to learn more about disability justice. The club is a valuable opportunity to ask questions, be introduced to new topics, and grow in your understanding of how to be an ally to disabled people. It may even be an opportunity to “read yourself in” to the Disabled community. Please be mindful of confidentiality and do not share experiences, narratives, or identities without consent.
