- Participant
“Dr. Karen Hagrup’s two-day workshop on disability issues and disability studies felt like it was over too soon. Dr. Hagrup has the ability to explore complex issues in ways that are illuminating both to people new to the subject and those who have been working in this area for years. The power point presentation, the photo copied material, and the group activities were not only helpful in presenting key topics, but also sought participation from workshop members. Under her guidance we became a group examining this topic. This is a workshop that can, and has, changed lives.”
