Abstract:
Disability justice is an “intersectional and multisystemic” way of thinking about disability and accessibility (Lazard, 2019). In this talk, I will provide a brief overview of standpoint theory and use it to argue that justice for people with disabilities can only be imagined and realized when the individual and collective knowledge of people with disabilities dominates the design and implementing accessibility.
