Subject: [phys-sis] Living with a Disability
FYI..I don't know if a lot of folks received this in the mail...This looks
like a GREAT course and some of the instructors are disability studies
scholars. I may not be able to go due to other obligations and funding. I
want to go and support the disability speakers and learn a thing or two!
Please pass the information to your peers and co-workers. I hope some of
you will attend.
