Description

This session demonstrates how the UCEDD structure and approach to disability rights and inclusion provide a natural engagement model for interdisciplinarity, and a structure for major higher education innovation. Through detailing a current initiative which synthesizes disability studies and research within an interdisciplinary Health and Well-being agenda, we illustrate an engagement model to be used by UCEDDs to integrate disability studies, research, and community partnerships throughout institutions of higher education.
