For Tuesday’s class, please look at 2 blog posts, “We’re Not Here for Your Inspiration“ and “But You Don’t Look Disabled,” an interview with filmmaker Jason DaSilva, and the Sundance trailer, with with extra footage (here), for his documentary film When I Walk. The documentary chronicles DaSilva’s experiences with MS, and explores what it means for him to navigate the world as a person with a disability (see the). The feature-length film is only the latest (and longest) of DaSilva’s self-representations; he’s been a video blogger for years (see one here, but also note his many posts for organizations such as the MS Society, including this one).

Please read the post below (“Free-Range Blogging”) for directions about writing your next post (due Mon Oct 17).

Also, looking ahead to our work with The World is Moving Around Me, please pay attention to media responses (and some artistic ones, too) to the devastation that Hurricane Matthew has wrought on Haiti.
