Psychology educators work to promote understanding of the breadth of the human experience, yet the largest minority group, disability, is underrepresented in our curricula. Join us for a free two-day virtual conference for psychology educators to learn about cutting edge research, theory, and pedagogy related to teaching about disability.
Grant funding for this event was provided by the Society for the Teaching of Psychology and the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.
Captioning and ASL interpretation will be provided. Please contact darndisability@gmail.com with questions or accommodation requests.
