A portrait of Dr. Patty Douglas. Text reads Storytelling as Social Change. Dr. Patty Douglas' Inaugural Lecture.

Join Dr. Patty Douglas and Queen's University for a talk on inclusion and storytelling

How can we—educators, researchers and community members—tap the power of research and story to imagine and create a world that affirms, and even desires, disability and difference?

Storytelling as Social Change brings to life a new storytelling and disability studies approach to inclusion and belonging in education, countering long-standing educational inequities heightened through COVID-19. The talk moves its audience beyond a Western biomedical understanding of disability as deficit that needs be remedied. Instead, Dr. Douglas asserts disability and difference as fundamental, desirable, and needed for tangibly reimagining living, learning, and thriving together on planet earth.
