University of Mary Washington professor Chris Foss will begin by providing some brief background on the history of disability, the disability rights movement, and Disability Studies. With that context in mind, he will focus on highlighting the need for (more and better) literary representations of disability, followed by an accounting of some of his own attempts (as both a teacher and a scholar) to contribute to this important cultural shift.
