Although nothing about STEM should inherently exclude people with disabilities, stigma and ableist cultures persist. With support from NSF, this conference series explored issues related to the accessibility and inclusivity of STEM workplaces for persons with disabilities. Taking asset-based and intersectional approaches to understanding the experiences of persons with disabilities across STEM workplaces, including research settings, the agenda included discussions of preferred language for describing disabilities, systemic institutional barriers limiting career advancement of persons with disabilities in STEM, and access and inclusion practices and policies that support and advance persons with disabilities in the STEM workforce.
