Reframing the Language of Allyship
Includes a Live Web Event on 04/03/2025 at 6:00 PM (EDT)
This Professional Studies program is offered for 0.3 PS CEUs at the little/none Content Knowledge Level. RID HQ is an approved RID CMP Sponsor for continuing education activities.
With a lens of addressing allyship as it pertains to the Deaf community, the presenter will take a deep dive into the underlying principles and ideologies of allyship, including in-depth discussions on supportive and performative allyship. Understanding the allyship framework will allow us to better explore context-specific applications of the framework, as well as identify necessary steps and behaviors individuals should take to cultivate and drive meaningful change.
