Abstract

The paper first examines the media coverage surrounding the #disabilitytoowhite movement. It then unpacks the agenda of this activist movement. The paper subsequently surveys and gauges the current state of play around intersectionality within disability services, advocacy and scholarship in academia within the North American landscape. It examines and analyzes the resistance to change that is tangible in this area. Finally, the paper explores possible sustainable solutions for campuses attempting to address the lack of intersectionality within disability service provision.
