Project Description:

These interdisciplinary micro-credentials incorporate offerings from disciplines such as public health, disability studies, social work, design, economics, and policy to capture disability within a range of historical, cultural, socioeconomic, and geographic contexts. This opportunity is designed to increase an individual's skills for addressing stigma and challenges associated with disability within our society and advocate for improved accessibility to quality care, education, and other resources within our communities. Participants may earn individual badges or, in some cases, embark on a pathway to achieve a succession of badges that demonstrate a progression in learning. Learners may choose to pursue all three badges or simply earn one or two. Student, faculty and staff badges available: Disability Awareness, Disability Advocacy, Disability Impact, Disability Inclusion Identity and Country Roads program.
