Episode 26 - Understanding Ableism With Dr. Karin Boxer
In this episode, Kim is joined by Dr. Karin Boxer, a disability inclusion strategist, speaker, and former philosophy professor, for a conversation about ableism, which is the belief that there is one "normal" way to think, learn, work, communicate, or move through the world.
The conversation touches on how disabled people pay for this belief in shame, self-blame, and exclusion, and how systems and workplaces pay for it in lost talent, insight, and contributions.
If you're not sure what ableism is, or how it shows up in the world, this is a conversation for you.
Dr. Karin Boxer is a disability inclusion strategist, speaker, and former philosophy professor. After more than two decades in higher education, her own experiences with disability made visible how deeply ableism is embedded in institutional norms, expectations, and systems—not just attitudes or bias. Her work focuses on how organizations unintentionally design people out, and what it takes to redesign structures so more people can belong and do their best work. Karin writes and speaks widely on ableism, disability justice, and institutional responsibility.
