 r Education is a 2-part webinar series that seeks to address and highlight 
 disability inclusion and access. This panel was held on July 17th 2020.</em
 ></p><p>In this first panel\, we define access and identify barriers rooted
  in ableism that impede access to education spaces.</p><p>This webinar seri
 es aims to centre lived experiences of disability in education and academia
  and encourage dialogue around addressing and challenging ableism in our in
 stitutions. We hope that it will initiate conversations within our universi
 ties and other learning spaces around the importance of broadening our unde
 rstanding of access and disability as a justice-centred issue.</p><p>For ed
 ucation to be truly inclusive\, we need to care for students\, staff and fa
 culty with disabilities beyond means of accommodation. How can we better su
 pport our campus community made up of learners and educators with diverse a
 bilities in an equitable manner?</p><p>We gratefully acknowledge Creating A
 ccessible Neighbourhoods BC\, UTown@UBC’s Community of Caring grant and the
  UBC Department of Geography’s Equity and Diversity Committee for their fin
 ancial support to this event series.</p><h3>Speakers:</h3><p><em>Mike Presc
