Disability Justice Book Club: Disabled and Proud 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 Disabled and Proud cohort. Join this cohort if you identify as disabled and would like to broaden your understanding of disability justice while connecting with other self-identified disabled people at UBC. The club is a valuable opportunity to engage with new texts and scholarship, share your perspective, and hear from others. Please also be mindful of confidentiality and remember that folks might not be “out” as disabled in all contexts at UBC. Please do not share personal narratives or experiences or identities outside of the book club.
