We seek an organization who would benefit from learners' insights into and evaluation of disability policies in the workplace, or assistance in creating policies.

Learners are completing introductory studies on Disability, Justice and Advocacy Issues.

We examine how policies and activism are linked as we study the intersections of disability/diverse abilities with gender, sexuality, race and socio-economic status. We emphasize critical advocacy as it relates to disability rights and encourage practice in specific advocacy strategies and tactics.

Students will:

• Compare and contrast the history of disability rights with other civil rights and social

movements

• Connect historical disability rights and laws with current social justice issues, using an

intersectional framework 

• Articulate impacts of disability in specific areas including education, health care,

housing, invisible disabilities, and the carceral state 

• Analyze and explain the ways that disability intersects with gender, sexuality, race andsocio-economic status

Possible outcomes and deliverables:

• a report containing an analysis of your company's current policies, with suggestions for improvement
• creation of small learning modules around specific disability and advocacy related topics
