The Disability Community (DisCo) Space is proud to present our inaugural Democracy Day event, Democracy and Disability: A conversation with Professor Rabia Belt. In this thought-provoking presentation, Professor Rabia Belt, a renowned expert in disability studies and Stanford Law School faculty member, will delve into the crucial intersection of democracy and disability, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities faced by disabled individuals in democratic societies.

Professor Belt’s wealth of knowledge and experience will guide us through a comprehensive exploration of the barriers and advancements in disability rights within the democratic framework. This conversation will not only highlight the pressing issues that people with disabilities confront but also offer valuable insights into how democratic systems can do better to include disabled citizens and intersectional communities.

This enlightening conversation aims to foster a deeper understanding of the vital relationship between democracy and disability, and we look forward to welcoming you as part of this important dialogue shaping a more equitable democracy.

Democracy and Disability: A conversation with Professor Rabia Belt will take place on Democracy Day on Tuesday November 7, 2023 from 11:00am to noon in the Stanford Law School.
