Join us for this two-day comprehensive workshop exploring ableism and the foundations of disability justice principles.

We'll explore:

• Models to conceptualise disability and ableism from an anti-oppressive perspective.

• The history of colonialism and white supremacy in the creation of disability and treatment of disabled people.

• How systems of oppression, including racial capitalism, function to disable and oppress racialised and marginalised people globally.

• Trauma as disability and the embodied impacts of colonial violence.

• The coloniality of healthcare in the UK.

• The function of desirability, disposability and eugenics.

• The role of abolition in disability Justice work.

• Internalised ableism.

Both days will offer a mix of slides, discussion and reflection with space for questions and plenty of breaks throughout.
