After a spinal cord injury, people must adapt to changes in their physical abilities while also navigating structural ableism—a system of policies, institutions, and societal norms that disadvantage disabled individuals. How does ableism shape their interactions and self-perception? And how does ableism intersect with sexism? This forum will feature a panel of women sharing their experiences with ableism after acquired disability, discussing its personal and professional effects, and exploring how it appears and is addressed in different settings. Please join us to share your thoughts, perspectives, and questions on navigating ableism after spinal cord injury. The discussion will be moderated by Whitney Morean, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in rehabilitation psychology at UW.
