UW's Heather Evans to present 'Leaning Into and On Disability Community' on Oct. 18

October 11, 2024

Join Western's Institute for Critical Disability Studies for a keynote lecture by the University of Washington's Heather Evans about disability community and the role disability disclosure affects people in colleges and universities at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 18 in Academic West 204 and via Zoom.

Evans will draw on findings from her research on disability identity and disclosure to examine the ways that her relationship to disability community has both shaped - and been impacted by - her disclosure decisions when on the job market, while piecing together work as an adjunct, and in managing her position as the director of a program at a large research university.
