Accessibility Coordinator

Krystal Kavita Jagoo is a fat brown queer disabled immigrant woman, intent on anti-oppressive practice despite not renewing her registration with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), after witnessing their failure to even call for a ceasefire throughout 2024. She is returning to SummerWorks after supporting the 2024 festival with her commitment to Disability Justice, after years as an Accessibility Advisor at the University of Toronto. Jagoo’s essay, “A Slow Death in Academia,” was presented at tapashta, SpringWorks’ Digital ShortWorks Showcase. Her “University Ableism Bingo” was featured in “Pandemic: A Feminist Response,” Inclusion Canada’s 2022 “This is Ableism” campaign, etc. Her “Surviving Academia in this Body” digital storytelling project highlights how white supremacy fuels ableism.
