Description

Unlike other -isms and privileges, issues surrounding ableism and health privilege tend to draw less focus and thus are examined less in classrooms and clinical settings. Even when health privilege is the topic, less observable issues, such as chronic illness and chronic pain, tend to be omitted. This session intends to shed light on these hidden diversities, providing space for education, discussion, and reflection in an attempt to make the invisible visible.
