Hello, everyone! I am TAO, the M1 student in our empowerment lab.
Today, Professor. Miyazaki gave us a wonderful lecture about the empowerment
of realizing inclusion of lifetime.
Professor. Miyazaki explained the definition of “the disabled”,
including physical disabled, cognitive disabled, mental disabled.
He also stated the viewpoint of this lecture. The disabled are not just
connected to medical model, it also can be considered in a social model.
There is also a comparison between diversity and inclusion.
Three necessary factors need to be considered in diversity. For example,
trying to improve the institution and rules; trying to change the social environment;
trying to change your attitude, awareness and actions.
We also learned from the lecture that there are two types of diversity.
In primary dimension, nationality, race, gender, LGBT, age, the disabled or not disabled are included,
while in the secondary dimension, education, occupation, income, marriage, lifestyle,
region are covered.
Hence, we can find that there are four stages to advance empowerment: denial, social support,
participation and self-realization.
It was a very meaningful lecture which made us understand the situation of the disabled
and how to realize the empowerment of inclusion in our lifetime.
Thanks again for Professor. Miyazaki’s fascinating academic speech.
We all appreciate it a lot.
Hello everyone, the summer has came. How are you going with your hot life.
Today we did a party for our best friends---Chok san. She has finished her research in Japan this period, and has to go back to her country.
Four months passed so quickly. It is time to say goodbye to her. We spent a very unforgettable and meaningful time together.
We all very like her personality and her very sweet smile! We won’t forget these special days with her.
We all hope she can have a nice day and come true her dreams in the future! Goodbye Chok san and thank you very much!
