The TASH Early Career Research Network (ECRN) Policy HUB (Human Rights, Unlearning, and Belonging) brings together emerging scholars, practitioners, and self‑advocates who are committed to advancing disability justice and inclusive education. Grounded in human rights and community partnerships, we focus on both policy‑level change and everyday advocacy that improves the lives of disabled people and their families.
“Our work sits at the intersection of research, lived experience, and collective action for disability justice.” ~TASH ECRN Policy HUB
The TASH ECRN Policy HUB advances TASH’s public policy agenda through an early‑career lens by equipping emerging scholars and practitioners to engage in both macro‑ and micro‑level advocacy. We work to influence policy and systems change while empowering ECRN members to use their expertise, lived experience, and community partnerships to promote disability justice and inclusion in their local contexts.
Our vision is a world where disability policy reflects the lived experiences of people with disabilities, where access, equity, and opportunity are guaranteed in every state, and where self-advocates and co-conspirators are equipped to lead this change together. Through research, storytelling, and collective action, The ECRN Policy HUB seeks to shape equitable systems while empowering its members to advocate boldly in their own communities—across communities, campusers, classrooms, and capitols.
