Poet, scholar, and activist Stephen Kuusisto, from his blog Planet of the Blind: “Higher education administrators tend to imagine that ‘someone else’ will ‘take care’ of ‘those people’ who have disabilities. American higher education still imagines that the Victorian approach to disability is acceptable–that the disabled are taken care of by people who will read to them in the dark.” (“Higher Education,” n.p.)

Like @DrMKleekamp writes below it was a dialogue piece between myself and three other brilliant disability studies scholars led by @phuongus.
I was invited to write this piece, for RTE. Getting to collaborate with Usree Bhattacharya, MaggieBeneke, and Jon Henner (some stellar critical scholars I’ve been fangirling over for a while) for the In Dialogue section of this issue was a new and exciting way to write for me!

In my dialogue section I explore the concept of Crip linguistics applied to Crip literacies. I ask a fundamental question. Why is print literacy abilities a paramount goal of deaf education above all other skills?

@kellynnw89 shares how she's creating a personal archive--a quilt of fabric leftover from her creation of more than 600 masks in the early days of the pandemic. #UMPAnnotates#COVIDYear3 1/2
ALT Hypothesis annotation by kellynnw. Quoted text: facemask from the 1918 influenza epidemic. Annotation: I have thought similarly in relation to the current times. Having made over 600 masks, I wonder if those will become family artifacts in the future of a time long past. Also why I created a scrap quilt with the leftover mask fabric to have a reminder of my own material participation in this time.
