Description
What do the earliest land laws in the country have to do with guardianship of people with disabilities? What is the connection between colonization of indigenous people and experimentation on disabled and black bodies? This webinar will introduce attendees to disability frameworks, intersectionality, institutionalization, and the Indiana Disability History Project. Speakers will offer a Q&A portion for participants to hear from people with disabilities regarding their experiences with institutionalization in Indiana.
