Engaging Students and Faculty in Meaningful Partnerships: Designing a Professional Development Workshop to Address Ableism in Physics
ORAL
Abstract
Ableism is endemic in the cultures of physics. To help address this, we are creating a dual-stranded professional development workshop. One strand of the workshop is targeted at physics instructors and supporting them to enact inclusive and anti-ableist practices within the classroom environment. The second strand is focused on supporting disabled physics students to learn about and prepare for the physics workforce. In this talk, we will present the theoretical underpinnings of the workshop, our design of the workshop, and our future plans.
