Session Description:

Share, discuss, and create ways to engage this year’s Writer as Witness text in your class. We’ll highlight many of the ideas that Shew treats, including, but not limited to, academic and popular discourse regarding disability and access, technology as a pathway to “improvement”, and intersections across Crip Culture, Race, Gender, Sexual Orientation, and other identity markers. Participants will collaborate on class activity development and learn from faculty across academic contexts.
