Agenda● Brief course introduction● Group activity: reverse-engineering disability studies
○ Group Presentations● More detailed course introduction● WordPress signup● Homework
1. Brief Introduction to the course- I’m Andrew- What’s disability studies- What’s it have to do with Writing Studies?- Who are you?
2. Group activity: reverse-engineering disability studies
The aim of this activity is to begin to define disability studies as a field, not by seeking out official definitions, but by studying the texts that field produces and the scholarship it endorses. It also allows us to start considering what this field has to do with us as individuals--as students, (future) professionals, and scholars in separate majors.Time: 20 minutes (9:10)Task:
1. Study the the CFPs your team ended up with. 2. For each CFP, highlight
a. Keywords, terms, jargonb. Important claims, questions, or assumptions made by the author
3. Then compare the CFPs trying to answer these questionsa. Based on what you see in these CFPs, how would you define the field of
Disability Studies? What are its core concerns?b. How does disability studies interact with other disciplines? What questions does
it add to the conversation in other fields? And vice versa…4. Prepare a brief presentation for the class in which you
a. Introduce yourself and your partnerb. Present your findings from step 3 (using quotations if possible)c. Reflect on how you are situated in relation to this field
i. affects your major?ii. affects your professional ambitions?
Presentations--
Keywords, jargon etc:- Contemporary - People with disabilities- Ableist (ideology and theories)- Epestemologically- Crip- Disabled bodies- Human- Racialized, heteronormative- Intersectionality- Universal design for learning- Mental illness/ insanity / madness/ malaties - Illness as distinct from disability-
Important claims questions etc:- Social focus--world of work, people, public sphere, social interactions- What determines disability/normal? What’s the role rhetoric plays? Social conventions?- Contemporary research seems the focus (vs historical or literary?): new disability
category- Analysis of how disability portrayal influences the lived experience of people with
disaibilies- Places disability at the center of our pedagogies and practices
Academic Field observations:- Contemporary media studies- Fan spaces (affinity spaces) - Safe space overlaps
Life usefulness:- Creative writing: could create more thoughtful and real disability representations-

Homework● Read through syllabus and come on Friday with one question● Read the Class Bibliography list and choose top 3 items you’d like to review (one is a
backup in case someone else grabs yours● Reading response (Linton, Dolmage, Keywords)
○ Read through the three assigned readings (not necessary you’re an expert in all of them, so skim as needed)
○ Find one quotation from one of the readings that draw out some commonality among these three readings. Perhaps these texts share some common concerns, beliefs, biases, influences, shared questions, shared goals, shared approach to their audiences...
○ Fina a second quotation from a different reading that draws out some key points of divergence among these readings.
○ Write out 2-ish paragraphs about why you chose these quotations and what they demonstrate
○ Post it to our blog with the category Class-Discussion
Friday, January 12thAgenda
● Logistics○ Bibliography selections
● Solo/partner: Setting course & syllabus questions● Discussion: language of disability● Homework
Logistics● FIRST THING: Write your two quotations on the board(s)
○ one above the other with a good amount of space between for someone else to write
○ Feel free to condense the quote if it makes things easier○ Do not include the author/page citation with your quote
● Review sign-up list is circulating○ I’ll make a page for the website with the finished list
● Logistical hiccups so far?
Activity: Setting Course● Solo freewrite: What do you think of the class based on what you know so far?
○ Freewrite means■ Not planning your outline, thesis, or style in advance■ Following stream of consciousness■ Fast, jumpy, exploratory, experimental
● Partner up and discuss○ What came up in your freewriting?○ What are you thinking in terms of assignments, personal deadlines, possible
areas of focus within the course topics○ What questions did you bring about the syllabus?
● Discussion
Observations about the class: - lots of little projects to work on (not too small to be insignificant, not too giant)- Choice in assignments--helps if time management good- Can connect to your own field of study (journalism!)
Questions:Workshop days and 3 point projects
- Don’t need to come in for workshop days you aren’t usingHow do we ensure not to have overlap in projects (same movie, same poets)
- Not an issue if it happens- We’ll work it out in tonight’s homework
Reviews- Format is basic summary + reflection. Reflection most important, but give enough
summary for someone outside the class to know what the text IS and SAYS-
Activity: Disability and language● Choose a pair of quotations on the board (that isn’t your own, obvs)● Circle a word from each quotation and draw a connecting line between them● Label that connecting line with a question
○ Perhaps a question in your own voice, asking or speculating about the connection you drew, i.e.
■ “Does the medical model really doing harm to disabled people?”, if it seems that the readings disagree in some way on this point
■ “Why do you all only talk about X and not Y?” if it seems the readings are connected by a shared omission
● Time permitting, we’ll repeat with another pair of quotations● Discussion
So
Homework● For Sunday night, write a brief post discussing your assignment and review choices for
the quarter. ○ You don’t have to be 100% sure at this stage, just talk through your thinking so
far○ Use the category “Discussion (on topic)”
● For Wednesday, create a Text/Image multimedia piece demonstrating or exploring one key concept encountered so far
○ Use an image editor to create a visual collage ○ Include a combination of imagery and a short bits of language from one of the
texts■ Make the image more than a demonstration of the words, or the words an
explanation of the image■ Use juxtaposition to add a layer of critique, irony, or emotional resonance■ See examples made by English 101 students in my email announcement
from 1/12○ Post your image to the blog by next class (Weds 11/17)
■ Don’t give much explanation of your image in the p■ ost, we’ll be sharing these in class and we’ll want to be able to analyze
and enjoy your piece without too much explanation from you as the artist■ Do give your post a title, which should be the title of your image (“Untitled”
if you must, but I’d prefer a title that contributes meaning to the piece w/o explaining it)
■ Use category “Class Discussion” when you post
Wednesday, January 17th
Logistics- Welcome Suzanne Blaire and Lisa Osadchuck- Review handout circulating again- What makes a review?
- Introduces the author (field, important work, etc)- Summarizes the original work (thesis, major claims, evidence, argument style,
etc)- Reflects on the work (how it contributes to your thinking in the class, how it
relates to other readings or discussion, etc)- Around 1000 words- Provide links or citations for other sources mentioned
Activity: Theory Gallery
We will take turns examine each of the images you submitted for homework. In each case, the creator of the image will keep quiet as the class responds to their work.
Everyone whose work isn’t being viewed will be responsible for discussing these three points. For each round, one person will talk through each question before passing the discussion off to the rest of the class.
- What do we see in the image, objectively? (ALT Text conventions)
- What are the means of communication in this image?
- What does this image communicate?

2. Use one of the second 6 ways to objectively describe the photo3. Ask what connects these two objective descriptions. Is a meaning implied or hinted at
between them?4. Ask what does this image have to do with disability?5. What do you think about Diane Arbus’s representation of disability? Or what do you think
about her audience?

Friday, February 2ndAgenda-
- Logistics?- Group activity: Rhetorical Analysis three ways- Presentations- Homework
Logistics- How’s class going so far?
Group Activity: Rhetorical analysis three ways
The Rhetorical Situation - Straus Q: What’s his aim w/in the limits of texts?- Genre (the standard form being followed--an open letter, horror novel, legal brief)- Medium (what the text is made of--written English, signed English, a website with
embedded links)- Audience (who the text is intended to address; also, those who the author didn’t
anticipate addressing)- Purpose (what change the author wants in the world through this text)- Message (the specific thesis or argument present in the text; what it literally says)
- Article in literary journal- Written English, paper and online- Disability scholars as audience / Also new people to autism as scholarly topic / maybe
families and autistic people off the street?- Purpose: argue for non-medical models- Bold claims: psychological paradigms change in response to history and culture.
Rhetorical appeals - Sinclair Q: What’s his style of appealing to audiences?- Ethos (demonstrations of the author’s values or credibility) - Pathos (demonstrations of empathy with the reader)- Logos (demonstrations of intellectual rigor and reasoning)- Kairos (demonstrations of urgency or timeliness)
- Largely pathos based- Points out the inhumanity of neglecting autistic child
- Ethos based on personal authority as an autistic person- Ethos ESSENTIAL to the argument; but narrow- Leads to thinking of autism as one thing
- Logos? - Reason with parents about their response, that they don’t have to behave as if
it’s tragic?- Logos problem--this is a universal experience
Critical discourse analysis - Grandin Q: What worldview is revealed in her language?- Verb choice (active vs passive, past vs future)- Pronouns (us, them, I, we)- Social power markers (paternalist language, value hierarchies, who is an active subject
vs passive object) → present/active voice -- supported by past-based evidence→ I/we/you, no gendered pronouns used→ Values mentors, teachers→ ASD community as a wholeMedium / pronouns draws connection to audience, draws them in to the ASD way of seeing the world. → needed in society: should not be ignored
