[En anglais seulement] This roundtable brings together academics, researchers, and students working on issues of disability and law to discuss current and future issues facing people with disabilities, within the context of the 70th anniversary of the UDHR. Participants will consider the following: Did the UDHR follow through with its promises of dignity for all humans? What lies ahead for disability rights in Canada and around the world?
The results of this discussion will shape and contribute to the Winter conference, which will explore the relationship between the university and society at large, and the potential of the university to shift social attitudes and norms around disability.
