Diane Wiener, Ph.D., L.M.S.W., Director, Syracuse University Disability Cultural Center

In this faculty professional development session, Diane Wiener will engage faculty to sharpen their disability analysis by utilizing an intersectional social justice framework with a specific focus on applications to social work pedagogy. This session will explore the reciprocal relationship between advocacy and social work research, policy, theory, and practice, centering principles of Universal Design and disability justice.
