October is Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM)! The David Lam Management Research Library invites you to explore our thematic book display about Disability Employment Awareness, as we celebrate the tremendous contributions persons experiencing disabilities make to our workplaces and communities.
From inclusive hiring practices to accessible design, disability is reshaping how organizations think about talent, customer experience, and social responsibility. Our curated selection highlights key works that examine disability through the lens of entrepreneurship, workplace culture, policy, and advocacy. Whether you’re interested in case studies, memoirs, or management strategies, these titles offer fresh perspectives on building a more inclusive economy.
Stop by the display in the library to browse featured books (links below) or explore the full list online through our catalog. Let these reads challenge assumptions, spark ideas, and inspire action.
