CRWDP Webinar Series

You are invited to attend Webinar #17, as part of the CRWDP Webinar Series, taking place on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 at 12:00 PM EST. This webinar will be presented by Dana Howse. Dana will present her CRWDP postdoctoral work, which examined the ways in which work disability policy frameworks and programs support or impede Canadians with physical disabilities to engage in work-related travel, or ‘work mobility.’

Presentation Description: Dr. Dana Howse conducted a scoping review of the work disability policy and mobility literature, analyzed policy frameworks and case law in NL and ON related to workers’ compensation and human rights, and interviewed key informants and persons with physical disabilities who have experience and knowledge of how work disability policies and programs operate in practice to enable or hinder work mobility. Dana will discuss findings including the ways in which workers’ compensation policy can overlook work- and injury-related travel needs of disabled workers, and the significant role of family, and the system’s reliance on it, to support persons with physical disabilities to accomplish work mobility.
