Hello!

It is with great excitement that I announce the schedule for our upcoming Disability Studies Workshop. While a relatively short-running event, I am excited for us to convene and learn more about each other and our research!

You will find the schedule and presentation titles below; further information, such as abstracts and location, will be coming shortly.

If you have any access needs, please contact me as soon as possible so we can dialogue about possible solutions.

Thank you, and hope to see many of you soon!

Emily Williams

DS Workshop Coordinator
