Academia has a foundation in ableist practices, and that is the reason why
it’s so important that disabled BIPOC intervene in the academic world.
While it is important that disabled BIPOC students are on the front lines,
we also need disabled BIPOC teachers who can help lead the way in fighting
academic ableism. Join us in this discussion with Dr. Paul/Leena/Paulina,
Saili, and Subini as we learn about what it means to intervene in teaching
as disabled BIPOC.

We will provide ASL interpretation and CART captioning for this event,
which participants will be able to join by video or phone.

Speakers

   - Dr. Paul/Leena/Paulina Abustan (any pronoun, gender fluid) centers the
   alternative worldmaking of queer critical race feminist disability justice
   activists found within youth learning, youth popular culture animated
   storytelling, and Pilipinx and BIPOC coalitional activist spaces. Dr.
   Abustan is a 9th year higher education instructor and is a Visiting
   Assistant Professor of Western Washington University’s Women’s, Gender, and
   Sexuality Studies and part time faculty of University of Washington’s
   Educational Studies and Disability Studies and Highline College’s Ethnic
   and Gender Studies.


   - Saili S. Kulkarni, Ph.D.'s research highlights the intersections of
   disability and race in teacher education. She uses DisCrit (Disability
   Studies Critical Race Theory) to understand how teachers, particularly
   special education teachers of color, enact resistance in schools. Dr.
   Kulkarni also examines restorative and humanizing practices for young
   children of color with disabilities.


   - Subini Annamma was a special education teacher in both public schools
   and youth prisons prior to her doctoral studies. Currently, she is an
   Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford
   University. Her research critically examines the ways students are
   criminalized and resist that criminalization through the mutually
   constitutive nature of racism and ableism, how they interlock with other
   marginalizing oppressions, and how these intersections impact youth
   education trajectories in urban schools and youth prisons. Further, she
   positions students as knowledge generators, exploring how their narratives
   can inform teacher and special education. Dr. Annamma’s book, The Pedagogy
   of Pathologization (Routledge, 2018) focuses on the education trajectories
   of incarcerated disabled girls of color and has won the 2019 AESA Critic’s
   Choice Book Award & 2018 NWSA Alison Piepmeier Book Prize. Dr. Annamma is a
   past Ford Postdoctoral Fellow, AERA Division G Early Career Awardee,
   Critical Race Studies in Education Associate Emerging Scholar recipient,
   Western Social Science Association's Outstanding Emerging Scholar, and AERA
   Minority Dissertation Awardee. Dr. Annamma’s work has been published in
   scholarly journals such as Educational Researcher, Teachers College Record,
   Review of Research in Education, Teaching and Teacher Education, Theory
   Into Practice, Race Ethnicity and Education, Qualitative Inquiry, among
   others.

Moderator: Lydia X. Z. Brown, AWN Director of Policy, Advocacy, & External
