<Title>Celebrating Disability Pride in July</Title>
<Tagline>Breaking down stigma and being authentically known</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <a href="https://www.thevaluable500.com/spotlight/disability-pride-month" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Disability Pride Month</a> is celebrated in July each year - and in 2013, Chicago's Disability Pride Parade explained their mission as:<div><br></div>
    <div>"To change the way people think about and define 'disability,' to break down and end the internalized shame among people with disabilities, and to promote the belief in society that disability is a natural and beautiful part of human diversity in which people living with disability can take pride." <div><br></div>
    <div>The Disability Pride movement is long-standing, and became more evident as a day of celebration in 1990 - the same year that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law.   Boston celebrated its first Disability Pride Day that year, however many are also familiar with the earlier 504 disability civil rights movements of the 1970s which is chronicled in<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crip_Camp" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> the movie Crip Camp</a>, (<a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81001496" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Crip Camp Netflix link</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFS8SpwioZ4" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Crip Camp YouTube link</a>, which highlights the advocacy efforts of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Heumann" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Judy Heumann</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_LeBrecht" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">James LeBrecht</a>, among others).  This July marks the 32nd anniversary of the ADA, and many cities across the country celebrate disability pride with parades and festivals.  Let's work together to support access and inclusion so more people can say it loud, "I'm disabled and I'm proud!"</div>

    <p><span><br></span></p>
    <p><span>Successful candidates will join the UMB Writing Center staff, working one-to-one with writers at UMBC and/or UMB in on-campus and in online graduate-level courses, as well as with UMBC and UMB staff and faculty writers and writers across Baltimore communities. These positions are especially ideal for graduate students interested in careers involving these fields: </span><span></span></p>

    <p><strong><u><span>DIVERSITY, EQUITY, + INCLUSION EXPERIENCE FOR HIRED GRADUATE STUDENTS</span></u></strong></p>
    <p><span>Newly hired graduate students will also participate in rigorous, ongoing training in consultation practice and, importantly, will join the Baltimore Writing Center Project (BWCP) - a collaboration among a diverse, interprofessional group of writing center administrators and graduate and undergraduate peer consultants from Baltimore metropolitan-area universities. </span></p>
    <p><span><br></span></p>
    <p><span>This project focuses on how writing centers can leverage institutional resources across Baltimore City to grapple with structural and systemic racism inside and beyond the academy. Participants confront linguistic racism and the reproduction of white language supremacy in writing practice and research by engaging in multimodal composition strategies, egalitarian processes of consultation practice, and intersectional counter-storytelling.</span></p>
