DESCRIPTION:2014-2015 Disability\, Human Rights and the Law Seminar with gu
 ests Charles Ngwena (O’Brien Fellow in Residence)\, Futsum Abbay (Research
  Associate\, CHRLP)\, Roberta Thomson (Accessible and Inclusive Education 
 Course Instructor\, UDL Faculty Toolkit Project Coordinator).  Abstract  O
 ur first seminar investigates the institution of education as a built envi
 ronment. The right to an education is enshrined in article 24 of the CRPD.
  The effective implementation of the Convention\, however\, requires trans
 lation to a domestic context. This seminar will explore whether and how th
 e CRPD may be implemented in a meaningful way for rights-holders. Investig
 ating the global and the local\, it will bring together South African and 
 Canadian perspectives on inclusive education to explore both challenges an
 d best practices\, as well as revealing the drawbacks of rhetorical postur
 ing. Professeur Frédéric Mégret will be our moderator.  The event follows 
 the format of a teaching seminar and required reading resources will be ci
 rculated ahead of time. RSVP to chrlp.law [at] mcgill.ca by September 17.

 nts and accessibility of persons with disabilities: The concept of “built 
 environment” refers to all environments constructed by humans. Built envir
 onments are not only physical constructs but also social\, legal and econo
 mic constructs such as families\, schools and workplaces. This seminar ser
 ies will provide insights into the reality of different environments\, whe
 ther or not people with disabilities are fully able to benefit from them\,
  and the barriers that may be preventing full and equal access.
