On Thursday, September 26, 2019 the first session in the Disability Studies (DS) Awareness Speaker Series of the semester will be hosted at the College of Liberal Arts and will feature Dr. Alison Kafer, Associate Professor of English, and Dr. Travis Lau, a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in the UT Department of English. The Disability Studies Awareness Speaker Series is a monthly event organized by the Texas Center for Disability Studies in partnership with colleges across the University of Texas in an effort to raise awareness, share knowledge, and learn how to incorporate DS into the classroom and UT environment.
The September event will be a participatory discussion on how to integrate DS content, pedagogy and accessible teaching into courses. It will also include an introduction to the Disability Studies minor. This session in the series will be from 12:30-1:30 PM in Patton Hall's Glickman Conference Center (RLP 1.302E).
For more information on the event and the Texas Center for Disability Studies, please contact Dr. Nick Winges-Yanez (nwingesyanez@utexas.edu).
