NOTE: This event has been postponed and will be rescheduled. Stay tuned for an officially rescheduled date.
On Monday, March 6 at 2:00 pm in the UMaine Writing Center (Neville Hall 402), outgoing MHC Fellow Benjamin Allen will present the results of his MHC project on disability and performance in higher education.
Allen’s work, which forms part of his Honors thesis, draws on his own lived experience, as well as contemporary scholarly research in disability studies, communication theory, performance theory, and intersectional theory, to examine how tic disorders are performative and can irreversibly impact the experiences of those afflicted–especially as it relates to stressful situations in academia and the classroom.
