Join us for an engaging conversation between Dr. Julia Watts Belser, professor in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies and core faculty in the Disability Studies Program, and Dr. Amy Kenny, inaugural director of the Disability Cultural Center. This conversation will reimagine what creating a culture of access can be for our spaces (material and spiritual), classrooms, and communities. We will share our understanding of a more capacious and community-based model of access, and invite colleagues to consider how this embodies our shared work of making our worlds more generative and imaginative.
Together, we will share our insights as scholar-practitioners and discuss ways that access can become an art form. Bring your curiosities, questions, and wonder at how we can move our collective praxis of access beyond checklists and chaos, and into a more holistic way to create co-flourishing.
