Understanding Ableism

A combination of previous Ableism 101 and 102 programs, this session will define ableism, discuss the way it manifests on campus (physically and attitudinally) and share ways to counter ableist actions and attitudes. Facilitated by Administration, Rehabilitation and Postsecondary Education (ARPE) professor and disabled scholar Dr. Toni Saia. All CIE programs aim to build equitable and inclusive community spaces for learning, often while simultaneously addressing issues that can be sensitive and/or challenging. To ensure that these conversations stay productive, participants are expected to follow our community agreements and the SDSU Principles of Community. Facilitators will always aim to address with empathy any behaviors that are inconsistent with these agreements; however, we do reserve the right to remove and/or prohibit from future participation any participants whose disruptive behavior persists. By registering, you indicate that you have read and agree with this statement. All CIE programs are open and available to all, regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.
