Initiatives

Our work ensures equity and inclusivity for people with disabilities by addressing barriers that limit access to learning, living, working, and the pursuit of enviable and dignified lives.

Events

TPI's outreach embraces Chapman’s perspective of diversity and focuses on the practice of including people by recognizing, respecting, and valuing a combination of differences.

Highlights

At the heart of our work, Chapman University’s Thompson Policy Institute on Disability considers the intersections of disability, race, language, and socioeconomic status.

Research

Founded by Dr. Donald N. Cardinal in 2015, Chapman University’s Thompson Policy Institute on Disability (TPI) strives to bring policy, practice, and research together.

Why does inclusivity matter?

Why does inclusivity matter?

  • Inclusion, first and foremost, centers the disability community.
  • Inclusion encompasses practice, policy, and research that focus on providing equitable opportunities.
  • When backgrounds, interests, and perspectives are understood and supported, value is added to the community.
