CANCELED: Speaker Series on Disability: Exploring the Intersections of Race, Class, Gender, and Disability: Implications for Disabled Black Women

Although African Americans have one of the highest rates of disability, there is a dearth of research describing their social and economic experiences. The research that does exist suggests that African American women with disabilities face multiple barriers to resources and equitable treatment in society. In a mixed-methods study of the barriers and facilitators to homeownership for African American women with physical disabilities, self-concept emerged among the primary themes. This presentation will explore the intersections of race, class, gender, and disability by discussing how participants in the study perceived themselves and negotiated how they were perceived by others as multiply marginalized women.

All are welcome!
