Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha (they/she), disability and transformative justice activist and author of Care Work: Dreaming of Disability Justice, The Future Is Disabled: Prophecies, Love Notes and Mourning Songs, and many other books will lead a rich conversation followed by a Q&A. Topics will range from how access centers can be both strong allies and gatekeepers to access for disabled students, police violence against disabled students, ideas for staff and professors on creating inclusive classrooms and campus spaces, and how campus organizing intersects with disability justice, physical and cognitive and language justice.

[Poster Image Description: Leah, a nonbinary Sri Lankan and white femme in their 40s with sand-colored skin with grey-smoke, chestnut-brown, and faded-teal curls on one side of their head and a shaved side on the other, with rose-gold glasses and purple lips, looks at the viewer with their head resting on their left hand. They wear an apple-green mesh top through which a neon-yellow bra strap is visible. They sit in front of a hot pink couch heaped with cushions and a blonde-wood coffee table with a pink protest sign on it. Written on the image are the words, “Equity Across the Curriculum, Apr 17, 2-4pm, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, author, educator, and disability / transformative justice activist.
