Partnership Session

Justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion across disabilities among minorities in Korea and the U.S.

This session examines (a) intersections of disability and gender discrimination in employment among Koreans, from the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, and (b) four projects (three U.S.-based, one Korea-based) exploring moderators—hope/resilience/training/service use/culturally informed knowledge—to address disabilities (broadly defined) to support marginalized immigrants, refugees, and elders.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
  1. Identify individual and systemic factors that influence justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion for minority populations with broadly defined disabilities—physical, mental, geographical, and economic—in both Korea and the U.S.
  2. Analyze the similarities and differences in the experiences of populations with disabilities in Korea and the U.S. through culturally informed perspectives.
  3. Apply research-informed and evidence-based practices and policies to promote justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion for populations with disabilities.
