Anti-Ableism Training with Annie Roos
Monday, December 9, 2024
10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time)
Webinar Description:
While 26% of the U.S. population has a disability, all people are impacted by ableism. In this interactive, 2-hour anti-ableism training, participants will learn the historical context of the systemic exclusion of people with disabilities, how disability culture grew from civil rights movements, and what disability means. Participants will be able to explore topics of ableism in archives, libraries, and museums through dialogue with the speaker as well as each other, with the aim of leaving the workshop with ideas of actionable ways to incorporate anti-ableism principles into their own workplace. Through language and our understanding of intersectionality, we will explore ableism through a disability justice lens, leaving us with ideas for how to be better allies to the disability community and bring access into our work and daily lives.

The cost is $10 for SCA members; $5 for student members; $20 for non-members; and $5 for unemployed or precariously employed individuals.
