SARAH ARVEY TOV
After eight years of passion for teaching special education, Sarah Arvey is excited to be a doctoral student at the University of Washington College of Education. Her work centers the voices of youth with disabilities and disabled activists in K-12 curriculum and teacher education programming. In collaboration with the Office of Education Ombuds and Rooted in Rights, she helped develop the One Out of Five: Disability History and Pride Project that includes six student voice videos and a variety of learning resources about disability identity, intersectionality, disability history, and solidarity. As a disabled scholar and educator, it is amazing for Sarah to participate in emancipatory research that focuses on cross-disability and cross-movement activism within and beyond our classrooms. She utilizes arts-based methods in my teaching and research that centers the role of hope, joy, and emotionality in schools and academia. Sarah is excited to be working with South End Stories to support arts-based storytelling as a culturally sustaining method of inclusion across content areas.
