This cohort will serve as a research-informed, research-generating site for exploring justice-based approaches to inclusion in teacher education. Teacher candidates will engage with arts-based, interdisciplinary, and design-driven pedagogy that challenges ableism and uplifts disabled knowledge and leadership. The research team includes Dr. Leyton Schnellert, Dr. Carly Christensen, PhD candidate Hazel Ryan Sheehan, and Dr Karen Ragoonaden with ongoing leadership from disabled scholars and educators.

Funded by UBC’s Strategic Equity and Anti-Racism (StEAR) Enhancement Fund, we are excited to study the UBC Faculty of Education’s new Inclusion through Disability Justice Bachelor of Education Cohort.
