The first week of April marks the anniversary of the April 5, 1977 historic Section 504 sit-in and protest in San Francisco, CA. Last year, students, faculty, and staff at Yale organized a day-long series of discussions and panels to mark the 45th anniversary of this critically important action. This year, we’ve expanded the event to offer an entire week of panel discussions, research presentations, exhibitions, and more on the subject of disability activism, inclusion, equity, and liberation.
Please note that events are a mix of virtual and in-person.
This month is a time to reflect on the achievements of women and to discuss the issues that women still face today. The Professional Development Committee of YPA is hosting an event with prominent professional women, who will share their experiences on tackling different career challenges.
