The University of Chicago GRIT Disability Team, together with UIC's Disability Cultural Center, will be hosting a virtual Disability in STEM Roundtable with speakers from UChicago, UIC, and Northwestern University. Panelists will have the space to share their experiences with disability and ableism in STEM disciplines.
Some questions guiding our discussion:
** Ableism in STEM
How does ableism show up in STEM?
** Another STEM is possible
Have you had any good experiences, the kind of experience that acts as a model for what is possible? What set of conditions would make your work and your training accessible to you?
** Where there is oppression there is resistance
What strategies have you leaned on? What has been sustaining for you?
