Signs of Resistance: Disability Cultural History with Judy Heumann

In this first Learn More Series event of the 2021-2022 academic year, we hear from internationally recognized disability rights leader Judy Heumann. During this virtual fireside chat, Heumann is in conversation with Dr. Swati Rani, College of Arts & Sciences, to learn about her amazing story, trail-blazing activism, and what we might change at BU and beyond to better advocate for the dignity, rights, and respect of people with disabilities.

This event took place on Tuesday, September 14 and is part of BU Diversity & Inclusion’s (BU D&I) Learn More Series, which explores a single topic of social importance through events, discussions, and programs throughout the year— this year, BU D&I is exploring disability and the impact of ableism.
