Of those, over 2/3 did not report it.
Only 9% had not experienced it.
Academia is not OK.

This isn’t even considering other diversity factors and intersectionality.
The discrimination and barriers women, #firstgen, and other minority groups face in academia are problematic enough on their own.
Coupled with this... it just seems impossible.

I don’t know what else to say other than that I am determined to make change.
First comes awareness though, and this is my attempt.
If any #disabilityStudies academics want to school me on this it would be oh so welcome.
I’m considering a whole new career path. 😅
