Hybrid disability rights meeting
There was a Fantastic hybrid meeting today for the Accessibility Club of Penn State Harrisburg! We had the pleasure of connecting with CUNY Unlimited FEG, welcoming both virtual and in-person guests including Professor Sue Carpenter, Professor Jeremy Sawyer and Dr.Ingrid Geier of the Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program (representing CUNY Kingsborough Community College). We also had great representation from Career Studies at Penn State Harrisburg and SDR, all coming together to discuss vital topics around college accessibility for all students. We were also excited to have members of Crip Video Productions in attendance! This follows up on Margot's (from Crip Video Productions) participation in a panel on disability experience at Penn State Harrisburg on March 20th, 2024, which included a screening of "A Stroke Of Endurance." It's wonderful to see the continued connection and plans to screen these films for college students in the U.S and Austria!
This collaboration also highlights the important international discussions happening, like those Margot had with the Inclusion in Higher Education Advocacy Group (IHE UK) during the pandemic, shedding light on disability terms and the challenges faced by disabled actors and students in both the UK and the U.S.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to today's valuable discussion!
