Anti-DEI and anti-CRT legislation has led to the closure of multicultural centers, elimination of academic freedom, harassment of faculty, and impacts on tenure/promotion. This collaborative autoethnography explores how critical scholars, including those with disabilities, are impacted by this oppressive environment and how they sustain anti-oppressive and disability justice scholarship.
Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to identify the impact of political suppression on academic freedom.
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe strategies for sustaining critical and disability justice scholarship in suppressive environments.
Upon completion, participants will be able to explore the ethical responsibilities of scholars in politically suppressive contexts.
