Beyond Barriers: Exploring Intersectional Experiences of Students of Color with Disabilities and the Potential of UDL
Understanding the unique challenges faced by students of color with disabilities in higher education is crucial. This study delves into this intersectionality, aiming to identify the specific obstacles they encounter at CSUSB. By exploring the potential of UDL to address these barriers and promote academic success, the study seeks to develop concrete recommendations for inclusive policies and practices. This research aspires to go beyond existing knowledge by considering the combined influences of race, ethnicity, and disability within UDL, ultimately paving the way for more effective strategies to empower students of color with disabilities in their academic journeys.
This research project delves into the complex and crucial intersection of race, ethnicity, and disability in higher education, particularly at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB). Our aim is to illuminate the unique challenges faced by students of color with disabilities and explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can serve as a powerful tool for fostering their academic success. Through a comprehensive survey, we will gather valuable insights from students themselves. The information gathered will shed light on the specific obstacles they navigate in their educational journeys, encompassing academic barriers, social and cultural challenges, and potential biases within the learning environment. This understanding of their lived experiences will be critical in crafting effective strategies for change. By analyzing the collected data through the lens of intersectionality, we will explore the intricate interplay of race, ethnicity, and disability in shaping their academic experiences. This nuanced approach will allow us to go beyond existing research and identify specific UDL practices that can effectively address the unique needs of this diverse student population. Ultimately, this study aspires to translate its findings into actionable recommendations for CSUSB and beyond. We aim to develop inclusive policies and practices that can create a more equitable and supportive learning environment for all students, particularly those who navigate the intersection of race, ethnicity, and disability. By empowering students with disabilities of color to achieve their full academic potential, we can contribute to a more inclusive and prosperous future for all.
Eligibility Criteria: This research project invites your voice to shape a more inclusive future for students like you at CSUSB. We are seeking participation from undergraduate and graduate students who: Identify as a person of color: Your unique perspective on race and ethnicity is vital in understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by students of color with disabilities. Currently enrolled at CSUSB: Your lived experience within the CSUSB community will provide invaluable insights into the specific barriers and support systems available to students like you. Have a disability: Whether physical, invisible, self-diagnosed, or medically diagnosed, your experience navigating disability within the academic environment is crucial to informing effective interventions. By sharing your experiences and insights, you will be helping us to: Identify the specific challenges faced by students of color with disabilities at CSUSB. Explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can be used to promote academic success for this diverse student population. Develop recommendations for inclusive policies and practices that can create a more equitable and supportive learning environment at CSUSB. Your voice matters. By participating in this study, you can help us to break down barriers and pave the way for a more inclusive and successful academic journey for all students at CSUSB.
