ADCET Webinar: Inclusive placements for students with disability
Corrected captions will be added shortly
Students undertaking compulsory placements during their university degrees often face financial stress and other forms of exclusion, such as ableism, racism, discrimination, and transphobia.
During Amani Bell's Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success Fellowship ‘Addressing placement inequities through participatory action research’, she worked with four student co-researchers to facilitate four online workshops with 74 students and educators. Together, they co-developed solutions to the interconnected challenges of placement poverty and placement exclusion.
In this presentation, Amani focused on the issues and solutions related to ensuring placement inclusion for students with disability.
