Disability Narrative Workshop 3: Story Structure + Intersectionality 🗓 June 17, 2026 | ⏰ 1–2 PM ET

This workshop examines how story structure can distort disability coverage when reporting falls into legitimacy-trial framing, burden logic, or agency failures. Using tools from Fix the Frame, participants will learn how to spot and correct these patterns while building stories that more accurately reflect lived experience and structural barriers. The session also treats intersectionality as a core reporting practice, showing how race, class, gender, geography, and disability shape what gets covered, how it gets framed, and what is often missed.
