OMG. I'm so happy. Got the results back from my first two Master's level essays, the first essays I've written in 18 or so years and I got a distinction in both!!!
Watch out, ableism, I'm on your ass!

If you were creating a bibliography about disability culture, critical disability studies, and embodiment, what would you include (books, articles, podcasts, blogs, videos)? Feel free to promote your own works! #DisabilityStudies #AcademicSky

My #DisabilityStudies course is set for spring! The semester starts tomorrow, and I'm SO EXCITED about this course. We'll be reading, watching, and listening to all kinds of great texts, but the primary (required) reading is Disability Visibility, edited by @sfdirewolf.bsky.social.

For the morning crowd - please do sign and share. Every single one of my former #DisabilityStudies colleagues at Liverpool Hope is at risk of redundancy. This isn't just about individuals; it's a threat to the field itself.

Today's discussion of disability and media representation in #DisabilityStudies turned into collective dreaming of what changes to media representation we want to see: disabled main characters, multiply disabled characters, disabled people with literally any other identity/personality traits, etc.

A reminder that the entire #DisabilityStudies team at Liverpool Hope (my former colleagues) are threatened with redundancy. Devastating not just for individuals, but for the field. Students have written this powerful open letter about the impact. #SaveHopeDisabilityStudies
Solidarity with the faculty & students in Disability Studies at Liverpool Hope Uni. Here’s what students say DS gave them: “Our experiences weren’t pathologised for the first time but understood w/in a broader context of systemic ableism—something we had felt but never had the tools to articulate.”
Powerful open letter from Liverpool Hope #DisabilityStudies students/grads in response to proposed redundancy of the ENTIRE DS team: DS "is not just an academic discipline but a lifeline. [Tutors] bring lived expertise, intellectual leadership, and care that cannot be replicated elsewhere"

Thinking about this today with the news that *all* of my former colleagues in #DisabilityStudies at Liverpool Hope are at risk of redundancy.
It’s uncanny, the way university senior management identify the most unique and irreplaceable aspects of their institutions as being the most obvious targets for cuts. It’s almost as if they didn’t know what universities were for.
More than 1,000 people are already backing efforts to reverse the proposal

"In 1198, Pope Innocent III issued a decree that deaf people should be able to get married by making their vows in sign language."

The deaf blacksmith who married in 1576 – and the history of sign as a legal language
The medieval church’s acknowledgement that signs were equivalent to a spoken language was transformative for deaf people.
