SUMMARY:Webinar – 11/9/23 – Maddie’s Insights: Strategies for Challenging Ableism in Companion Animal Welfare – Maddie’s Fund
DESCRIPTION:Many animal shelters and rescues unwittingly perpetuate ableism through their engagements with disabled animals\, even when they are trying to help these animals. In this session\, we will explore how animal shelters and rescues contribute to problematic representations of disability and engage in practices that harm these animals. We will explore strategies for challenging ableism and better serving disabled animals. \nBonus: Earn continuing education credit from The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association and in jurisdictions which recognize Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) approval. \nAudience: (Vets\, Vet Techs\, Shelter staff\, etc.) Anyone working in companion animal welfare: vets\, vet techs\, shelter staff\, rescuers\, volunteers. \nLearning Objectives: \nBy the conclusion of this session\, participants should be able to \n\nDefine ableism and the dis/ability system\nRecognize ableist representations of animals and people\nIdentify and rework personal or organizational practices that support ableism to support better outcomes for disabled animals\n\nPresented By: Katja M. Guenther\nProfessor of Gender & Sexuality Studies\, University of California\, Riverside\, and author of The Lives and Deaths of Shelter Animals \nProfessor Katja M. Guenther’s research focuses on gender\, social movements\, human-animal relationships\, and the state.

She is best known in the animal well-being community as the author of The Lives and Deaths of Shelter Animals. Her scholarly work has been published in journals such as Disability Studies Quarterly\, Ethnic & Racial Studies\, Gender & Society\, Mobilization\, Politics & Gender\, Signs\, Social Problems\, Sociological Forum\, and Women’s Studies International Forum\, among others.  Prof. Guenther teaches courses in introductory gender & sexuality studies and gender & disability studies\, as well as upper-division courses in feminist and grassroots organizing\, gender and the state\, and feminist animal studies. \nZoom registration link: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcasts \nMPF discussion thread: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsAbleism \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddies.fund/MIwebcasts
