"Collective Access & Disability Literacy as Cultural Rhetorics," the Sadar Lecture by Ada Hubrig

How do you read disability? This presentation asks us to consider our disability literacyand how it might complicate and inform understandings of access, inclusion, and culture--in campus classrooms and communities beyond. Asking us to reorient ourselves toward disabilities and neurodivergences through cultural rhetorics, this presentation asks us to consider how the work of collective access can revitalize classroom spaces--and how we can transform our communities through thoughtful engagement of disability culture.
