Disability and Intersectionality: Lawyers Share Their Experience

Katie Allee, Salomon Chiquiar-Rabinovich, Gewaden Dunkley, and Elizabeth Davis

Many people with disabilities are members of additional marginalized communities, living at the intersection of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and religion. These multiple identities shape their experiences and combine to create intersecting forms of oppression (e.g., ableism, sexism, racism), discrimination, and privilege. In this webinar, lawyers with disabilities with multiple identities share their experiences in the legal profession, addressing how their multiple identities have shaped their advocacy for justice and equality for all, benefited their lawyer-client relationships, created allyship with lawyers from other marginalized communities, and resulted in unique challenges and barriers in the profession.
