Intersectionality

Nov. 15, 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. with Karen Andrews

Discrimination and exclusion are not resolved by focusing on a single issue or influence. Karen Andrews, Director of Student Accessibility Services at Brown University, will explore the useful framework of ‘Intersectionality’ as it relates to equitable opportunities, legal compliance, accessibility, barrier elimination, and best practice resources and services for disabled students.
