FALCoN (with Daniel Reinholz). Access Needs: Disrupting Ableist Norms in STEM
Description
We will discuss the concept of access needs as a tool for improving accessibility in STEM education broadly. Just as normalizing the use of pronouns has been an important step for supporting gender justice, Dr. Reinholz will argue that normalizing access talk is an important step for advancing disability justice in STEM fields. Concrete suggestions and techniques that STEM educators can use today will be discussed.
