Program Full-Description

This offering is a two-part series. The second workshop builds on the first and participants are encouraged to attend both sessions.

Workshop #1: Building a Disability Politic 

This workshop looks at disability from a political lens and positions the work of undoing ableism as a central feature of abolition. We’ll deepen our understanding of disability and ableism that’s rooted in historical context and a departure from a rights-based framework. 

Workshop #2: Building Access-Centered Cultures 

This workshop explains the differences between accessibility and access, with the goal of developing practices rooted in anti-ableist values that can shift culture. Participants will have opportunities to share, hone, and rethink their approach to access by working through scenarios and practicing moving through access conflicts.

Participants will…

  • Deepen and/or expand understanding of disability as political
  • Learn approaches to movement work rooted in disability justice
  • Practice moving through access conflicts

This program is ideal for....

Anyone that’s interested in applying disability justice to movement work in theory and practice.

Accessibility:

Access requests, including interpretation and captioners, can be made during registration or by emailing our Director of Disability Justice and Language Access. Requests for interpreters and captioners that are made less than 48 hours before the event typically are more difficult to meet. We will try and notify you if we cannot secure requested access.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
