About the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability
Historian and activist Paul K. Longmore founded the Institute on Disability in 1996. When he passed away in 2010, the university created an endowment for the Institute and renamed it in his honor. It undertakes projects that work to challenge prevailing notions and stereotypes of disability by showcasing disabled people's strength, ingenuity, and originality. Its public education and cultural events connect the Bay Area's vibrant disability communities and the general public with faculty and students at SF State to fight disability stigma with disability culture.
