Why Your Disabled Character is Plotting to Overthrow You

Description: With fifteen percent of the world’s population disabled in some form, disability is more prevalent—and more misrepresented—than many creators realize. These misconceptions not only deprive narratives of depth and realism, they can have real-world consequences. Stay up to date with the latest information on assistive technology, advice from disabled writers, and sociological grounding in how disabled characters might navigate speculative worlds.

Time & Location: Michigan 1 @ 4:00pm CDT
