Engineering DEI Hour Features Talk on Ableism and Ableist Language
The College of Engineering Office of Justice, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion's January DEI Hour will feature Meera Kumar, assistant director of DEI for the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences and teaching professor of journalism.
Kumar's talk will address ableism, the discrimination or prejudice against people with disabilities, and ableist language, which can exclude and marginalize people and encourage separation.
The session will be held at 3 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 25, via Zoom videoconference.
The college's new DEI Hour will feature new speakers once each month.
