The following is a project on why we need to confront disability

 

Imagine a building in which political philosophers are debating,. Now imagine that this building has no access ramps, no Braille or large-print publications, no American Sign Language interpreters, no elevators, no special-needs paraprofessionals, no in-class aides, it's a accurate picture of debate over democracy Only when we have fostered equal participation in debates over the ends and means of democracy can we have a truly participatory debate over what "participatory parity" itself means., we should remember that debates over the meaning of participatory parity set the terms for more specific debates about the varieties of human embodiment to make disability central to enhance human dignity.
