A few pictures from our talk today with Jay Dolmage! What an exciting, generative discussion on ableism in academia.

Earlier today w @JayDolmage : in person, so cool after years of reading / using Jay’s work. Awesome Pitt-themed talk on space-place, rhetoric, ableism & higher ed (as visible in these slides). Workshop tomorrow!
