Welcome from Conference Chairs

Welcome to Albuquerque, New Mexico for the 41st Association on Higher Education and

Disability Conference!

Albuquerque is one of the most diverse cities in the nation, and much like our AHEAD

conference, provides many opportunities to explore unique perspectives as we continue the AHEAD legacy of Equity and Excellence through our contributions to higher education

accessibility and social justice

AHEAD welcomes Dr Margaret Price, Program Director of Disability Studies and Associate Professor at The Ohio State University, as our Keynote speaker Wednesday morning Dr Price’s presentation will provide insights on how AHEAD members can lead efforts to destigmatize mental illness and create learning and living environments that anticipate and plan for the access needs of students, faculty, and administrators

Participants with specific areas of interest are welcome to follow highlighted program strands,

as well as choose from over 100 concurrent sessions, engage with 35 poster presenters, and join

us on Thursday and Friday for “AHEAD Talks,” short but information-packed presentations on a variety of topics

After a day of learning and reconnecting with colleagues, please take advantage of

Albuquerque’s abundant sunshine by visiting the historic Plaza in Old Town Albuquerque, enjoy

a beautiful view while riding the Sandia Tram, or take in a leisurely stroll on the banks of the Rio Grande in Albuquerque’s Bosque Whether you’re a new professional or seasoned veteran, we hope that you find your AHEAD conference experience both professionally enriching and

personally rewarding

Featured Presentations

Opening Plenary

Wednesday, July 18, 9-10:30 am

Ballroom A/B

On Inclusivity and Mental Health: Reconsidering Space and Time in Higher Education

Margaret Price, Ph.D., The Ohio State University

Margaret Price draws upon 10 years of research to consider ways that mental health is included

—and not included—in higher-education settings including classrooms, meeting spaces, and extracurricular activities Price argues that “including” students (as well as employees) with mental health histories in higher education will mean more than simply offering extra supports Instead, it will mean rethinking many of the structures and texts that we’ve come to rely upon inhigher education, so that we are not merely including those with mental-health disabilities, but consistently expecting them Dr Price offers a means to this rethinking through her theories of

“kairotic space” and “crip spacetime,” and also offers practical suggestions for how to

implement those theories in the everyday life of higher education teaching and administration

Trang 10

Dr Price is Associate Professor and director of the Disability Studies program at The Ohio State University She is the author of Mad at School: Rhetorics of Mental Disability and Academic Life (2011), which won the Outstanding Book Award from the Conference on College Composition and Communication, and was called “the book of mental health and higher education” in the Chronicle of Higher Ed Price is also a co-author of the nationally-recognized study “Disclosure

of Mental Disability by College and University Faculty: The Negotiation of Accommodations, Supports and Barriers,” the first-ever cross-institutional study of faculty members with mental disabilities Margaret was recently inducted into the Susan M Daniels Mentoring Hall of Fame inrecognition of her extensive involvement in mentoring and positive impact of the lives of youth and adults with disabilities

Photo Voice Exhibit

AHEAD is pleased to welcome Neelam Agarwal, Ed.D and the Photo Voice project from the University of Texas at El Paso The Photovoice method, is an evidence-based practice that has proved successful in engaging people with disabilities At UTEP, Photovoice participants were primarily majority-minority students who experience the societal marginalization of living with avisible or non-apparent disability Fifteen participants took pictures and wrote stories about issues that impact them The exhibit provided insight about the students’ experiences,

concerns, and successes to university stakeholders and community partners Attendees can access this display in the Exhibit Hall

Sensory Room Sponsored by the Autism/Aspergers SIG

As the population of students with Autism and others with sensory sensitivities continues to increase on our campuses, a sensory room or meditation room is a way to give students a place

to calm Sensory rooms or meditation rooms are useful in residence halls, student centers, academic buildings and are often used by students, staff, and faculty alike People can use the rooms to calm when they are stressed or overstimulated On one campus, a reduction in

conduct code violations was cited when the sensory room opened in a residence hall The spacedoes not need to be very large and expensive furnishings are not required Quiet is required in the room and any music must be listened to through headphones or earbuds This is one example of what you can do, please talk with a member of the Autism/Aspergers SIG for more information and alternatives 10/Anasazi

The 70273 Project

Through the Aktion T4 program, Nazis murdered 70,273 disabled people deemed “life unworthy

of life” between 1940-1941 This project is collecting quilt blocks from around the world and making quilts to commemorate each life and ensure that we never forget this atrocity

Conference attendees will have the opportunity to make a quilt block and commemorate a life;

no sewing or quilting skills required! Booth 609 in the Exhibit Hall
