As a member of the academic community, I have often participated in making campus more accessible, in line with the goals of the disability rights movement. I plan to continue this work at UCSC.
My work at CU Denver focused on a site providing Disability Information for Faculty. This site introduces disability issues for academics, provides resources on inclusive teaching, and more. Please take a look!
I’ve also invited prominent scholars to campus in a Disability as Diversity series:
Corbett OToole, Fading Scars: My Queer Disability History (flyer)
Melanie Yergeau, Minding Theory of Mind: Autism, Embodiment, Narrative (flyer)
Faculty Workshop on Gender and Disability with Garland Thomson
Working Lunch with Lennard Davis
Margaret Price, Mad at School: Rhetorics of Disability and Academic Life
Susan Schweik, The Ugly Laws: Disability In Public.
Rosemarie Garland Thomson, “Medical Genocide as Policy and Ideology”
Disability as Diversity on “A Wider World”
