This image shows a sculpture created by wrapping yarn tightly around a collection of found objects, including light blue plastic tubing, black plastic objects that may be disposable coffee cup lids, and white nylon mesh. The most prominent yarn colors are orange, blue, yellow and white.

Welcome to Critical Disability Studies! This is a space for conversation, inquiry, reading, and course logistics. Please keep in mind that it is a public space and use it respectfully. I look forward to seeing you on Serendip as well as in class!
