Disability in Science Fiction

[sqbr]

Draft program presentation

Note that there's notes available from the "Actions" menu.

So:
Any thoughts?
Anyone want to run the panel with me? (I'd prefer someone who identifies as disabled or at least has a moderate amount of experience with disability/chronic illness, but I'm somewhat open)

(nb I deleted the original lj version so I could use the "comments on dreamwidth" counter)

EDIT: But it didn't work! Clearly I need to play around with the crossposter. Anyway here is the lj post and here is the dw one (cross posted since lj is more swancon-ish and dw more disability-ish)

Haha, I'm not sure I'd be the best person on a disability panel. I'd get all angry and start ranting about Batman. :P

Also at this stage its looking like I'll either be in Bali or Adelaide soaking up the family dramas...

I may add more comments as I think of more stuff if that's cool. I did like your powerpoint.

Absolutely! The more ideas the merrier!

hm. Actually it's looking more like I'm going to wind up in Perth. So if you still need a panellist. Maybe. (I'm not the most useful person about disability issues really).

Well, I think I can run it by myself if need be but it's always good to have another person there. So, if it interests you I'd be happy to have you, but don't feel obligated. And you can always sit in the audience and add stuff as relevant :)

(Also, just because your birthday thing happened to be the next email in my inbox: stop acting like you're old, it makes me feel ANCIENT :))
