Sample Book Insights: #1 The Great Law of Peace was brought to the Iroquois by a Huron man. The Peacemaker taught the Mohawks about the Creator’s desire for harmony, and Aionwahta was needed to translate his words. #2 Disability has a history among North American indigenous people, but it is different than what Europeans and Americans understand today. It is defined in relational terms, rather than bodily terms. #3 The Indigenous peoples of America had little or no concept of mental illness prior to European contact, only the recognition of unhealthy imbalance. They viewed the behaviors and perceptions of what today we call psychological disability as a great gift to be treasured. #4 The understandings of physical, spiritual, and mental differences among the different indigenous nations of North America were very different. They varied from person to person, and from culture to culture.

Download or read book Disability in Higher Education written by Nancy J. Evans and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Create campuses inclusive and supportive of disabled students, staff, and faculty Disability in Higher Education: A Social Justice Approach examines how disability is conceptualized in higher education and ways in which students, faculty, and staff with disabilities are viewed and served on college campuses. Drawing on multiple theoretical frameworks, research, and experience creating inclusive campuses, this text offers a new framework for understanding disability using a social justice lens. Many institutions focus solely on legal access and accommodation, enabling a system of exclusion and oppression. However, using principles of universal design, social justice, and other inclusive practices, campus environments can be transformed into more inclusive and equitable settings for all constituents. The authors consider the experiences of students, faculty, and staff with disabilities and offer strategies for addressing ableism within a variety of settings, including classrooms, residence halls, admissions and orientation, student organizations, career development, and counseling. They also expand traditional student affairs understandings of disability issues by including chapters on technology, law, theory, and disability services. Using social justice principles, the discussion spans the entire college experience of individuals with disabilities, and avoids any single-issue focus such as physical accessibility or classroom accommodations. The book will help readers: Consider issues in addition to access and accommodation Use principles of universal design to benefit students and employees in academic, cocurricular, and employment settings Understand how disability interacts with multiple aspects of identity and experience. Despite their best intentions, college personnel frequently approach disability from the singular perspective of access to the exclusion of other important issues. This book provides strategies for addressing ableism in the assumptions, policies and practices, organizational structures, attitudes, and physical structures of higher education.
