Join us for lectures and discussion with two major scholars of Neurodiversity and Autism, Melanie Yergeau (University of Michigan) and Ralph Savarese (Grinnell College) in relation to their recent books See It Feelingly and Authoring Autism. From autistic rhetoricity to neurodivergence, Savarese and Yergeau explore challenges to neurodiverse sociality. Topics include the neurodiversity movement, and how neurodiversity is an identity, such as neuroqueerness, and not an impairment.
