Focus on Bias: 6.26.19
The Office of Student Financial Aid distributes a weekly email focused on implicit bias with some videos to watch, articles to read, and other events around campus and the community that we encourage you to attend if your schedule allows.
Video of the Week: Overcoming Ableism: What You Don’t Know As An Able Bodied Person TEDTalk by Naty Rico – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1xnyVCBYNQ. This video takes about 11 minutes to watch.
Article of the Week: Ali Stroker’s Tony Win Was Monumental… And a Huge Slap in the Face by Elyse Wanshel – https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ali-stroker-tony-disability-community_n_5cfe766be4b0aab91c0966c1. This article talks about the importance of making sure facilities are accessible. Something that UW–Madison struggles with, but also our office as we convert more spaces to have standing height options.
