In-person, room TBD

In this session, participants will explore how to confidently engage in anti-oppressive practices with a focus on disability inclusion. Grounded in principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA), this workshop will highlight the importance of recognizing and addressing individual, institutional, and systemic forms of oppression. 

Participants will learn how to apply an accessibility lens to their day-to-day work, communication, and decision-making, and examine how these practices contribute to a more inclusive university environment. The session will also fulfill key elements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), covering topics such as accessible communication, the value of disability inclusion, and practical strategies for creating accessible spaces and experiences.
