Disability Justice and Social Work Ethics in the Current Political Landscape

Diane Wiener, Ph.D., L.M.S.W., Director, Syracuse University Disability Cultural Center

Friday, June 2 | 12:30-1:30pm | School of Social Work | 305B

Diane Wiener will engage students in a presentation and discussion exploring the relationship between disability justice and social work ethics. This session will situate disability justice within an
intersectional social justice framework, inviting students to examine critically the politics of disability within the current political moment. How is disability reflective of identities and experiences of marginalization, disenfranchisement, and privilege? Considering political ideology to be a form of diversity, how do we interact effectively and ethically as social workers with individuals/groups/communities with myriad and even at times opposing political orientations?

This event is open to all students.

Diane R. Wiener, Ph.D., L.M.S.W., joined the Syracuse University Division of Student Affairs as the Director of
the Disability Cultural Center in the fall of 2011, after being a faculty member at a regional institution for six years and having worked in the social services, education, and mental health activist fields on the east coast and in the southwest since the late 1980s. She self-identifies as an educator, administrator, social worker, advocate, and artist, among other roles. In the fall of 2012, Diane was appointed as a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Cultural Foundations of Education in the School of Education at SU. She teaches Disability Studies, and has published widely in a variety of subjects related to diversity, social justice, inclusion, and empowerment.

The US still has nearly 7,000 nuclear weapons, and they’re all in the hands of an unpredictable and antagonistic president who has suggested we should use them today. For those of us who remember the devastation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we have a clear message: never again.

Join us for a unique opportunity to hear stories from people whose lives have been changed by the terrible destruction in Hiroshima.

This event will feature: Yukiyo Kawano, a third generation hibakusha (nuclear bomb survivor) and local artist; Fumi Groves, President of the local Hiroshima Club member, incarcerated at a Japanese internment camp, and whose family members died in Hiroshima; Jim Thomas, a life-long peace activist who has traveled to Hiroshima and Nagasaki; and interviews from Hiroshima survivors.

Come learn why anti-nuclear weapons activism is as important today as it was in 1945, and how you can make a difference on this critical issue. Yukiyo Kawano’s life-size soft sculpture of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Little Boy, will also be on display.
