Revisiting the Pace of Accomplishment
Dr. Sandy Sufian (Professor, University of Illinois at Chicago) shares about needs of faculty with disabilities and suggests ways to make the workplace more equitable. Dr. Sufian recommends reframing productivity with a holistic view, valuing contributions made rather than time to completion. She explains the differences between accommodations and universal design, and how we can make system changes that will reduce stigma and make the academy a better workplace for everyone.
