Hey Everyone - Deaf & Disability Awareness Month is quickly becoming a huge success, but we need your continued support to maintain our momentum. Please join us, in collaboration with National Coming Out Week, today at 3:00 p.m., Memorial Lounge for Eli Clare's presentation "Climbing the Mountain" Event Details: Oct. 9, Tuesday, 3:00 - 4:30 p.m., Memorial Lounge, Waterman Building Climbing the Mountain: Social Change and Myths about Disability presented by Eli Clare, author of Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation. Using story and theory, Eli Clare will explore some myths and stereotypes about disability, disability's connection to other kinds of marginalization based on race, class, gender, and sexuality, and how we can create social change. Eli will offer an intellectually rich and eye-opening perspective on disability issues that truly shed light on complex-and under-examined-dynamics of our culture and society and may very well change the way participants view disability for the rest of their lives.
