5th Annual Symposium for Disability and Accessibility at Yale, 2026

In(Visibility): The Creation of Narratives and their Legacies

April 6-11, 2026

How do we locate disability in our everyday lives?  Where do we know from and what narratives craft these understandings? How do our memories from the historical past effect how we interpret our present and craft our futures?

Over the past five years, the Symposium for Disability and Accessibility at Yale has strived to create dialogue around important conversations in disability communities while prioritizing access to all of our community members. Now, as we celebrate our 5^th milestone year, we turn to trace disability lineages and the narratives that they have knowingly and unknowingly created.
