So excited for our panel this June at the Society for Disability Studies (SDS) annual conference in Atlanta! Below is the overall abstract as well as the individual abstracts for each presenter after the break:
Friday, June 12th from 10:30am to 12:00pm
This panel, organized by the special interest group on Work, Employment & Society, will address the impact of anti-discrimination legislation and contemporary advancements in employment policy on disability rights. A disability studies lens permits this dialogue to interrogate the boundaries of disability employment. The collection of papers presented here will: add to the body of knowledge on characteristics of a process to change the status quo in employment policy for people with disability; build on prior work analyzing the conceptual relationship between the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1964; explore the impact of Employment First policy on the rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, particularly with regards to entrepreneurship; and use disability theories to explore what workplace analytics means for anti-discrimination laws and for how we understand ability and disability
Moderator & Discussant: Sarah Parker Harris, Ph.D.
