When it was first established, the Disability Cultural Center at UIC was one of just a handful of organizations focused on the social justice framing of disability issues on college campuses. Today, the DCC supports a thriving campus community with a range of programming. In this interactive workshop, Dr. Margaret Fink of the UIC DCC will share her experiences working with students and faculty in a variety of educational settings.
Typically, pre-conference workshops have anywhere from 10-25 attendees. As such, they are able to have a significant amount of interactivity.
Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- become familiar with an anti-ableist conceptual framework for thinking about their practice as instructional librarians
