Diversity is under threat. Regressive societal and political forces are targeting the values of inclusion, equity and accessibility, and in doing so are actively pushing back the hard-won advances of disability rights. What can we do to keep disability rights front and centre of societal progress?
This Diversity Festival we made the case for disability rights to be kept on the National Agenda. We gathered disability advocates, academics and community leaders to discuss how and why ableism has gained so much momentum, and what can be done to counter it.
Former Disability Discrimination Commissioner and current Professor of Practice Alastair McEwin AM opened the event with a keynote address, followed by a response from the panel facilitated by Ebe Ganon.
Panel members: Professor Alastair McEwin, Professor Jackie Leach Scully and Dr Supriya Subramani.
