In this episode, we explore what happens when there is a push to generalize accessibility and inclusion work in higher education spaces. I provide examples of barriers that can be created when skill set needs, and lived experience is ignored in resource design. At a time when many folk who do inclusion work are finding themselves unemployed because of budget cuts, it is a call for more humility, and a call for awareness of the folk out there, that you can call on, who have the experience to do the work in an inclusive way.
