Earlier this month, the CASE Innovation Lab hosted a dynamic panel discussion on Intersectionality, Disability, and Employment in Canada. The recorded event brings together powerful research and lived experiences to explore how overlapping identities shape access to employment opportunities—and what needs to change to ensure equity in the workforce.

Panelists and presentations included:

Nashwa Lina Khan, DAWN Canada – Do the Rights Thing: Deaf and Disabled Women and the World of Work
Lauren Renaud, CCRW / CCRT – Promoting Employment Participation for Youth with Disabilities
Sean McEwen, Community Futures Treaty 7 – Intersectionality: Indigenous Experiences with Disability and Employment Support

This important conversation offers valuable insights for employers, service providers, and policy advocates working toward a more inclusive labour market.
