Idea Generation: Disability Programming at WisCon

[sasha_feather]

What Disability-related Programming would you like to see at WisCon this year?

I am happy to submit program ideas if you all can help me come up with some!

Some thoughts to get you started:

Interdependency and work sharing

Hierarchies within communities and how we disrupt them-- (ie, am I disabled or queer enough?), getting rid of the gates!

Political coalitions. Groups of disabled folks are naturally coalitions since our disabilities differ.

Oh man, now i wanna WisCon for real. I can never afford it, this year being no different (I'm moving in May). However, if I had a pick, I'd go with:

- the politics of disability as political: what happens when Disability is a political movement but our disabilities (and thus needs, wants and desires) differ?

- Love the idea of a panel on disrupting hierarchies within the DIs/abled community; gate keeping to include divisiveness of language policing
