This is a community building circle designed by and for graduate students at Tulane. The event is focused on dismantling ableism (both internalized and systemic) that exacerbates and stigmatizes people living with mental illness and mental health challenges. This space is open to both allies and people who identify as neurodivergent, "Mad", mentally ill, etc. 

We will be looking at the principles and practices of disability justice and what we can learn from disabled organizers around the world who have fought together against systems, stigma and the ableist norms of higher education.
