Session Submission Summary

Narratives and Critical Perspectives for Situating Dis/Ability in Identities and Schools

Sat, April 9, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 149 A

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This panel represents a collection of papers that situate experiences of dis/ability within identities, as well as the spaces of K-12 schools and institutes of higher education. Each paper takes a disability studies in education perspective when considering experiential spaces of identity (LBGTQI students, adolescence, intersectionality, students of color, and students who type to communicate) and structural spaces of schooling (high schools, university campuses and classrooms, K-12 classrooms, middle schools, etc.). A common thread across the five papers are the complexities they present and the challenges they make to taken for granted assumptions of ability and schooling.
