Do Better illustrates the meaning of ableism through compelling narratives of graduate students in student affairs and higher education graduate preparation programs, who self-identify as disabled. These stories provide meaningful examples based on lived experiences. Furthermore, they aim to help higher education professionals, faculty, and staff recognize ableism and identify ways to dismantle these oppressive realities, both in their own practices and environments of influence.


The book seeks to honor the experiences of individuals with disabilities and provide opportunities for improvement in the areas of inclusion, community, and belonging. There is much work to be done in supporting disabled individuals within the collegiate environment and this book highlights both the challenges those with disabilities face in the classroom, graduate assistantships, and other relevant campus environments. Do Better provides solutions and strategies for integrating more inclusive practices into our work. The narratives shared within this book indicate problems that graduate students face and also opportunities for improvement.


The insidious nature of ableism means that it occurs on college campuses in a multitude of ways. Ableism creeps into the lived experiences, social interactions, academic endeavors, and professional opportunities within the field of higher education and student affairs. Do Better raises awareness about the various forms of ableist oppression faced by graduate students, aiming to inspire action and drive change.
