Criteria for the Social Action Project include the following: You must explore a sociocultural manifestation of ableism in the workplace.
You must engage with the perspective(s) and agenda(s) of disabled
people, and make explicit how you sought and incorporated these
perspectives and sources of information. Please remember that there is
no such thing as “the disabled perspective,” any more than there is such
a thing as a singular perspective aligned with one’s gender identity,
racial identity, etc.. Disability communities are diverse and
heterogeneous, as all other communities are. You must take a stance of active learner (not active teacher),
critical reflector (not accepting or reproducing dominant “truths”
without question), and ally (not expert).
Your proposal should specify: 1. What is the sociocultural manifestation of ableism, disability
oppression, or disability culture or activism that your group will
explore? 2. How will your group access and engage with the perspectives and
agendas of disabled people in trying to learn about this topic? How
will you learn more about this topic or issue? What will each of you
commit to do? 3. Please write a paragraph or two specifying how you’ve gotten
started: What have you looked for and found in your initial
exploration? Include links, bibliographic information, social media
account names, etc., as appropriate to help me understand where you’re
starting your exploration. The whole proposal will probably be 2-3 pages long.
