Inclusive Design: Dr. Jan Wilson | Season 3 Episode 5

"We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color."

- Maya Angelou

Jan Wilson is a Wellspring Associate Professor of Gender Studies and History at the University of Tulsa. She is the author of the book Becoming Disabled: Forging a Disability View of the World and the articles “‘Who Has a Better Story Than Bran the Broken?’ Game of Thrones and the Power of Disability Narratives” and “Reimagining Disability and Inclusive Education Through Universal Design for Learning.” She is the recipient of The University of Tulsa Outstanding Teaching Award, 2013

In this episode, Jan will share how schools are innately ableist and how UDL can break down those barriers to create more inclusive spaces in education.

This is the final episode in our series on inclusion. Throughout this season, we have learned about how creating more inclusive environments provides spaces where all learners can thrive.

We have learned from teachers and advocates who have helped us gain a perspective on what inclusion means and how educators can be intentional as they create more inclusive environments.

We have discussed common barriers that prevent inclusion, some ways inclusion is done well, and how general education teachers can partner with both special education teachers and community members to take our learners… beyond the curriculum.
