Abstract

ABSTRACT When drawing from dominant norms, university career centers can promote ideas of professionalism that systematically train marginalized identities to suppress embodied knowledge. I analyze five career center websites using thematic coding to identify how career centers can circulate ableist notions of professionalism on their public-facing websites. I then offer a theory of (dis)ability deconditioning to encourage collaborative interventions between technical and professional communicators and career center professionals to challenge ableist norms and center embodied intersectionality.
