I'm so excited to be able to attend @jcmankoff keynote at #Tapia2019.

@jcmankoff getting on stage in #CripTime <3 😍

<3 <3 I'm supposed to live tweet but all I can do is make heart noises in my throat.

"I really believe that I've done a different kind of work because of these things <experiencing disability in academia>" @jcmankoff #Tapia2019

"I almost quit computer science multiple times throughout my career."

"because I was able to do work that mattered to me, I was able to stay."

@jcmankoff

Sometimes what makes us stay changes. And that's okay. #Tapia2019

"At my first conference I had to write everything down that I wanted to say."

"I had to push the access buttons to open doors"

"And I started to develop a disability identity." @jcmankoff #Tapia2019

"Sometimes the research chooses you."

@jcmankoff builds her own adaptive keyboard in order to be able to type efficiently.

"I developed time management skills from my repetitive stress injury" @jcmankoff

Crip embodiment as knowledge production #Tapia2019

@jcmankoff discussing maternal exclusion from Computing conference

"if you were a smoker, you wouldn't expect us to let you bring your cigarette into a session" - conference organizers compared babies to cigarettes.

As a parent of two young children and the gestator of one 55% compiled fetus, I hope I can learn from @jcmankoff to teach my children that the problems I'm working on are more important than them, at the same time, they are the most important part of my day. #Tapia2019

@jcmankoff "The transfer of information can change the balance of power." #Tapia2019

Including marginalized people in research leads to transformative societal change.

@jcmankoff experienced changes institution, research interest, and chronic illness pre-tenure. A collective community of support kept Mankoff in the field. #Tapia2019

Though @jcmankoff endured many acts of exclusion, gaslighting, and burden narratives, her support collective transformed those exclusionary experiences into gateways to a new scholarship enriched by critical inquiry and a new life. #Tapia2019

#PassionateWitnessing can drive scientific progress in ways that "objectivity" cannot. #WhoseObjectivity #Tapia2019

@jcmankoff current work looks at how daily experiences of discrimination have physiological impacts that are disproportionately harmful to people from intersected axis of oppression. #Tapia2019

Experiences of discrimination that result in academic peril, vs day to day social discrimination, have more intense impacts on stress of minoritized students. #Tapia2019

As faculty and future faculty, as managers and supervisors, we have a responsibility for the safety and security of those under our power. Our biases can deploy psychological trauma to the people we are supposed to be fostering and serving. #Tapia2019

I LOVE YOU @jcmankoff
