Not Seen and Not Heard: Managing Our Learning Disabilities as Management Educators

KEYWORDS: Learning Disabilities, Diversity, Educators, Stigma

While much is known about teaching students with learning disabilities, almost nothing is known about the experiences of management educators who have learning disabilities. This roundtable explores the experiences, opportunities, and barriers for faculty who identify, privately or publically, as learning disabled in academia. The first part of the session provides a space for educators to share their experiences with managing a learning disability in academia, or supporting others in this process. The second part is dedicated to developing strategies to support educators with learning disabilities in their academic work.
