Drawing on critical disability studies, this talk challenges the pathologising assumptions embedded in higher education and asks who benefits when disability is treated as a problem. Moving disability from margin to centre, it explores how depathologisation can transform universities from institutions that manage differences into communities that reimagine society.
Rather than a problem to be solved, disability becomes an opportunity for social change.
