Critical Foundations: Ableism and the Law
Thursday, November 7, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Event Navigation
Ableism is a system of assigning values to people’s bodies and minds based on societally constructed ideas of normalcy, productivity, desirability, intelligence, excellence, and fitness. It has deep roots in anti-Blackness, eugenics, capitalism, misogyny, colonialism and imperialism.* Ableism shows up in ideas and assumptions, stereotypes, attitudes and practices, physical barriers in the environment, or larger scale oppression. With Brown, we’ll explore how ableism appears in the law and in our thinking as lawyers.
