M-CIPA

Mobilizing - Collective Inclusion Pathways for Access (M-CIPA), funded by the SSHRC Connection Grant (2025–2027), mobilizes findings from the earlier CIPA study, which used a Disability Justice framework to uncover barriers and promising practices for access in higher education. The project engages disabled students, faculty, and staff in Community-Based Co-Design workshops to co-create practical resources and tools for more inclusive pathways. These outputs will be shared through a virtual Knowledge Exchange Forum, while networks of students, faculty, and staff are strengthened to support systemic change. By centering students as “experience-based experts,” M-CIPA fosters collaboration, equity, and lasting institutional transformation.
