Social movements involve the
organizing of individuals with shared identities or shared values around a
collective goal, whether to reshape law, policy, the political system, or
public image. A variety of social movements have gained ground in recent years,
from Black Lives Matters to global marches by women or gun control advocacy by
the students of Parkland, with each movement demonstrating new ways to
effectively organize in modern society. Disability rights advocates have
experienced great success in organizing people with disabilities to advocate
for broader social and legal reforms. The panel will bring together disability
and legal scholars to discuss disability as a social movement including
historical and political context, successes and challenges, comparative studies
about what we can learn from other social movements, and what we can expect
from the disability rights movement as a social movement in the future. A virtual business meeting was held prior to the Annual Meeting.
