I was so thrilled to present my book chapter titled At the Intersection of Identity, Disability, and Power at the 39th Winter Roundtable Conference in Psychology and Education! It was a joy to be part of this virtual presentation and to share with the audience strategies to help educators avoid elusive pitfalls in discourse and interaction with students with disabilities. Individuals with disabilities remain vulnerable across educational and social settings and I drew from my own experience with disability to shed light on how to conduct empathetic interactions that reinforce the student’s self-determination! My chapter was published by Information Age Publishing in 2020 as part of the volume Identity and Lifelong Learning in Higher Education. I felt utterly blessed and honored for the opportunity to present at this esteemed conference!
