Institutionalized Ableism: The Experiences of Students with Disabilities

This episode is part two of our "Reasonable Accommodations?" episode released on April 5th. You can listen to this podcast as a stand-alone or go back to part one for some more context. In this episode, Adah and Jude continue the conversation with Iris (a recent WWU graduate) and Charlotta (a coordinator in the Disability Outreach Center) who share their experiences as students with disabilities. They talk about institutionalized ableism, issues within the medical field, and they discuss ways that we can work to support our peers with disabilities. We want to thank both Iris and Charlotta for their time and for the valuable conversation.
