School of Education Co-Sponsored (Dis)courses Kick Off March 8 with Shayda Kafai

Hosted by the Office of Interdisciplinary Programs and Outreach at the Burton Blatt Institute and Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry and Literature—and co-sponsored by Syracuse University School of Education—the series “(Dis)courses: Interdisciplinary Disability Dialogues” returns in the spring 2022 semester with four conversations featuring luminaries who are engaged with innovative and intersectional disability cultural work.

The spring 2022 edition of (Dis)courses continues the series’ tradition of engaging events focusing on disability literature, media, and the arts and its intersection with critical reflection, teaching, and research on contemporary disability themes.
