Disability Justice Week - Creating an Inclusive and Equitable Post-Pandemic Future
Channel: Highline College
Date: 2021-11-17

In this keynote presentation, autistic researcher-activist Timotheus “T.J.” Gordon, Jr. paints a vision of a world where disabled people from many ethnicities and intersections thrive together in an inclusive and equitable world after the recent pandemic. Gordon will lay out the current challenges that the disability communities face in entering that world, from facing systemic racism in state entities to seek inclusion and disability pride in local communities. He will also speak on examples on how disabled people can help each other make a thriving post-pandemic world become a reality through disability justice and inclusion.
