April 5-28 marks the 45th anniversary of the San Francisco 1977 Disability
Rights Protest, a sit-in that demanded the enactment of Section 504 of the

people with disabilities in the United States and set the groundwork for the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. As we reflect on this incredible
historical action, we look to our present Yale environment to ask important
questions about how the campus supports and falls short for the disability

Discourse on the Postwar (sengoron) in Japan has predominantly consisted of debates among male commentators concerning responsibility for the war. Absent from these debates are questions of how women experienced the postwar era, and of how women have attempted to overcome their experiences of the war and trauma.

Every February, the Japanese American community commemorates Executive Order 9066 as a reminder of the impact the incarceration experience has had on their families, community, and this country. In observance of the 80th anniversary of Executive Order 9066 that was signed on February 19, 1942 this event will feature Seattle-based Yonsei cartoonist and illustrator, Kiku Hughes, whose historical graphic novel Displacement tells the story of a teenager who is pulled back in time to witness her grandmother’s experiences in the Japanese American internment camps.
