In this second episode on STEM and Disability series: Inclusive Teaching
This is another STEM Positive Disruptor: MIA conversation, showcasing special guest Sara Shunkwiler, Engineer, Educator and Disability Inclusion Advocate. She work in the Space Systems Engineering field at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Question:
Why are people with disability still been discriminated against in our STEM world that it makes it very difficult for a person to disclose from the outset that they have a disability?
There are so many takeaways from our conversation but I will only share this that for Inclusive teaching to be effective we need to start from early school years and take a proactive approach to making the courses accessible.
Finally, as Sara would say "Disability is not a bad word"
Wow! wow! wow! Sara is a bulldozer of change.
