Michael Schwartz's Video Series
South Korean law allows for injunctive relief in cases involving discrimination based on disability. However, tradition and culture have been slow to assimilate this form of legal relief. A conference of lawyers, judges and advocates recently convened in Seoul to discuss ways of encouraging the use of injunctive relief to remedy discrimination. The conference asked Michael Schwartz to answer several questions about the practice of injunctive relief in American courts. Following are four videos, all captioned in Korean.
Going to school for the first time: inclusion committee members increasing the number of students with disabilities in primary schools in Kenya
This expansion of teacher training on inclusive education and critical disability studies promoted sustained school- and community-based discussions on inclusive education and sensitisation on issues related to disability. These practices also led to the development of inclusion committees, co-teaching practices, and stimulated the partial dissolution of the physical boundaries and categorical distinctions between ‘primary’ and ‘special’ schools. In conjunction, all of these factors ultimately led to an increase in the number of students with disabilities accessing any form of education for the first time.
