University of Windsor’s Annual Accessibility Day Webinar, “Accessibility, Inclusion & the Limits of the Law” (April 8, 2021)

Posted on by

How can we achieve greater social inclusion for people with disabilities? This question lies at the heart of a regulatory initiative that has been developing steadily in Canada since the mid-2000s. The question of inclusion has become even more acute during the COVID-19 crisis. Accessibility standards are the newest generation of law established to combat disability discrimination. Accessibility standards are designed to be proactive. But, Professor Laverne Jacobs argues that in order for this or any equality law to have a truly transformative impact on the lives of people with disabilities, much work still needs to be done. What does this mean for you?

Presenters: Dr. Laverne Jacobs and Nadia Shivratan (JD student)
