Peter A Allard School of Law

Understanding Ableism at the University and in Law, with Dr. Jennifer Gagnon and the UBC Law Disability Alliance

The CFLS invites you to join us for our upcoming lecture and discussion on Monday, February 28. We welcome Dr. Jennifer Gagnon, Lecturer in the UBC School of Journalism, and Katherine Benson, Co-President and Co-Founder of the UBC Law Disability Alliance.

How can we make academia, law school, and the legal profession more accessible for people with disabilities? Join us for an interactive workshop and discussion exploring what a more accessible experience would look like. This facilitated conversation will focus on ableism, while centering disability justice, intersectionality, and activism both within the academy and the legal profession.
