    • Education

The history of higher education is steeped in ableist policies, practices, and rhetoric. Jay Timothy Dolmage, Academic Ableism, shares with us the intertwined past of colleges and universities with asylums and schools for "idiots". Former academic coach Matthew Mueller offers insights and ideas about how the Vassar community can continue to become more aware of its own history with eugenics and euthenics to create a more inclusive and accessible space for all body-minds and all learners.
