Please consider attending this Thursday and sharing with classes!
In this part of the class, we are going to work on holding feminist/queer/anti-racist disability studies together for the purposes of interrupting white/ableist affect in classrooms.   We will also center race and disability in Texas in this part of the class.   In your writing, address these questions:
  • What are the connections between racial affect, whiteness, ableism, and radical disability politics for you? What might this have to do with the classroom? Writing and literacy in college classrooms?
  • Once you finish your readings, think about TCU’s disability statements that are required for your syllabi here.  How does that compare to the policies/politics of what we have read for today?

3. Click here to go to this webpage. Read the webpage and then choose and/or mix the accessibility statement that best reflects what you have read/what you are thinking right now (think of undergrads as your audience here). Come back to the group ready to discuss what you chose and why.  Take notes on your own or print out/PDF the page and make comments for the statement you will create.

Carmen's October Check-In: We did this openly last week so that we could have a group conversation.  However, this is not necessarily sufficient.  Tonight, you will get time to do an anonymous google survey that will ask you the same questions.  Click here for the link or type right into the survey below.
