Hello everybody,
I would like to share with you our new Disability Culture video, just
in time for classrooms all over the place! It's on youtube, 22 minutes
long, free, and subtitled.
Next semester, my Collaboration and Poetry class will be
audio-describing segments, and we'll create a website for the video,
with alternate soundtracks (a feature not available on youtube).

The video was created during a three-day art-based research symposium,
a University of Michigan Initiative on Disability Studies Spring
Conference, in February 2012. Collaborators include Jennifer
Eisenhauer, Melanie Yergeau, Mark Romoser, Wobbly Dance (Erik Ferguson
and Yulia Arakelyan), Neil Marcus, Ariel Osterweis, Aimee Meredith
Cox, Cheryl Kaplan Zachariah, Yvonne Schmidt, Brooke Willock, and many
others.
Happy watching,
Petra
