Why Is Disability Missing From the Discourse on Diversity? - Diversity in Academe September 25, 2011 Randy Lyhus for The Chronicle Enlarge Image By Lennard J. Davis It has been more than 20 years since the Americans With Disabilities Act took effect, but while the law has changed some things in higher education, it hasn't changed the way academic culture regards people with disabilities. /// susINVENTOS b i t e # beerintheevening.com ProfHacker Welcome to the latest installment of “Accessibility in a Digital Age,” a roundup of links to information about creating and using digital resources that are accessible to all people. In a thought-provoking essay, Lennard Davis asks “Why Is Disability Missing From the Discourse on Diversity?,” a question we would do well to consider as we remain mindful of the various ways the digital divide can affect various people. We Connect Now is a relatively new grassroots organization “dedicated to uniting college students with disabilities in access to higher education and employment issues.” The United States National Council on Disability has produced a substantial report entitled The Power of Digital Inclusion: Technology’s Impact on Employment and Opportunities for People with Disabilities, available for download.

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein [Note: This list of Einstein quotes was being forwarded around the Internet in e-mail, so I decided to put it on my web page. I'm afraid I can't vouch for its authenticity, tell you where it came from, who compiled the list, who Kevin Harris is, or anything like that. Still, the quotes are interesting and enlightening.] "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

Ai Weiwei, un iconoclasta con conciencia · ELPAÍS.com Antes de que el activismo político convirtiera a Ai Weiwei en una de las caras más conocidas de la disidencia china, este artista de 53 años, detenido el domingo en Pekín por las autoridades chinas cuando se disponía a volar a Hong Kong, ya era una figura en el entorno global del arte contemporáneo. Y no, como sucede en otros casos, porque es chino y la pujanza económica del país ha llevado a sus artistas a las primeras listas de las ventas de arte, sino porque hacia tiempo que no se veía un trabajo conceptualmente tan potente y radical como el que lleva años experimentando, en sus múltiples facetas, Ai Weiwei.

Disability benefit reforms: 'It's about more than the cuts, and more than the Paralympics' | Society Sophie ChristiansenParalympian, British equestrian team, gold medal winner I do think attitudes towards disabled people have changed for the better since the Paralympics, but now, with the whole "benefit scroungers" thing and the further away we get from the Games, the more negativity is creeping in. There's a gap between the way people view Paralympians and other disabled people. I'm trying to bridge that gap, because the public need to realise just how disability affects day-to-day life.

The personal independence payment (PIP) is going to come in to replace disability living allowance, the WCA [fitness-to-work test] is not going to go away.
