Dear Friends, This is sad news. Disability studies has lost another founder. Dennis was active in SDS for decades. He built the program at the University of Washington. His sudden death is a loss to us all. In particular to our erstwhile SDS President, Joanne Woiak, who is at UW. Send her happy thoughts and let's all work just a bit harder to promote disability studies, and to enjoy that work for Dennis and the others gone before him. In Solidarity, Devva Devva Kasnitz, PhD Spring 2018 -- Kate Welling Distinguished Scholar in Disability Studies, Miami University, Oxford, OH Adj Professor, City University of New York-School of Professional Studies-Disability Studies Executive Director, Society for Disability Studies, PO BOX 5570, Eureka CA 95502 From: Disability_studies_uw <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Sharan E.
