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)

Comments

Dude, I nearly lost my comment with you deleting that lj version!

Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on what you think) I was clever and checked here.

Not enough discussion about Oracle. :P
Though I squee-ed embarrassingly when you had a picture of her there. Or it would have been embarrassing had anyone other than Diesel heard me. I think I'm excitable today or something.

That said, I would have thought she was more of a tragic victim rather then the other thing you put her as. Cass Cain would be a better Bat(girl) example of Disability Superpower, given she was unable to talk or read as a direct result of her training (or at least she started out that way).

Er, I can go on about Bat examples for awhile if you want... I'm guessing you don't.
