Have you recently experienced a major health change?
From long-COVID to pregnancy, to perimenopause/menopause, to breaking a leg, any one of us can experience a change in our health status that makes part (or all) of our job a whole lot more challenging.
Join us for a discussion of how to navigate university resources and accommodations, as well as figure out research and teaching, after acquiring a new disability. This professional development event is co-sponsored by the APSA Committee on the Status of Disability in the Profession.
Panelists:
- Rachel Blum (University of Oklahoma), Moderator
- Nadia Brown (Georgetown University)
- Margaret Perez Brower (University of Washington)
- Andrea Y. Simpson (University of Richmond)
- Art Blaser (Chapman University)
Event Sponsor:
