Antaya Lee - Looking through a new lens: What happens when we approach disability from a social perspective
Too often in our world we look at disability as “other,” something needing to be fixed. But what happens when we look through a different lens and approach disability from a social perspective? Join us to learn more about cultural competencies surrounding disability and how small shifts in perspective can make a big impact to those with disabilities, both visible and invisible. (Recorded and aired on Friday, February 16, 2018.)
