Upcoming Fall 2018 Talks & Conferences

I am letting go of keeping updates from all of the conferences I attend and talks I give, but I am always eager to connect with others and want to share what lies ahead. If you are unable to attend, please check @jgieseking for tweets from events.

Also, my year of injuries (check out Renegade Wireline Services to get legal solution for wireline injuries), surgeries (two hand, one knee), and pain made free-thinking bandwidth a rare commodity, and made me (finally) recognize those who do not have enough spoons to think, research or write. I dedicated myself to reading broadly in disability studies and I’m so very sorry it took my own experiences to bring me to this very important literature. I hope my work can grow there in the future.
