FLIPPED WEBINAR: Intersectional Approaches to Disability and Race
Webinar: 9 July 2021
Organisation: Intersectional Neurodiversity & Disability Reading Groups
The Intersectional Neurodiversity and Disability Reading Groups are holding the flipped webinar ‘Intersectional Approaches to Disability and Race’ on Friday 9 July 2021 on Zoom. Find the programme below.
Black and brown disabled and non-disabled people and white disabled and non-disabled people face different barriers, norms and inequalities, and have different disability and race experiences and expressions – think of biases, stereotypes, barriers and exclusion in research, education, medical settings, the organising around health, treatment and well-being, and of course policing. Society has been and still is marked by the interconnectedness of racism and ableism.
While the intersectional exploration of disability and race is a small but growing area of study, this intersection has received insufficient attention in disability studies, in race studies as well as in intersectionality studies. More intersectional knowledge construction around the interrelatedness of race and disability and racism and ableism, and which rejects the medical or deficiency model of disability, is urgent. With the flipped webinar ‘Intersectional Approaches to Disability and Race’ – consisting of blog posts and panels – the Intersectional Neurodiversity and Disability Reading Groups seek to contribute to this discussion.
What is a flipped webinar?
A flipped webinar is not a traditional webinar, where participants present their work live. In this flipped webinar, participants will submit a blog post beforehand; the blog postswill go live on 1 July 2021 (they will be published below). The participants and audience will read the blog posts before the webinar. The webinar itself, with four panels, will be on 9 July 2021 (from 2pm UK time onwards). After a brief summary of each blog post, read by the facilitator, each panel consists of a Q&A: the panellists will respond to questions from other panellists, from audience members, and from the facilitator.
Blog posts
Blog posts will be available to read from 1 July 2021 onwards (below)
