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.

I really don't know what you are getting at with "disability and inspiration"-- lately there has been a lot of pushback around PWD not wanting to be sources of inspiration for abled folks, and that is what is coming to mind for me. I doubt that is what you mean. Can you elaborate?

Definitely mean the push-back and critical angle-- sorry for not elaborating!
