Danielle Lorenz, PhD candidate at @UAlbertaEd. I will be outlining how I, as an Associate Editor of @TheCJDS (an #OpenAccess critical disability studies journal) used a single bracket elimination tournament to casually educate folks on bad disability representation. #MWSOTL 1/11
As @HGulka et al. wrote in their recently published article (cjds.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/cjds…), if disabled ppl are included in film/tv, they’re “portrayed in negative, stereotypical, and unauthentic ways,” usually by non-disabled actors (see also Barnes, 1992). 2/11 #MWSOTL

Hello! I’m Danielle Lorenz, PhD candidate at @UAlbertaEd. I’ll be discussing reconciliation, Indigenization, and decolonization as they relate to #CdnPse and the game Mad Libs. 1/11 #MWSOTL
Reconciliation in #CdnPse will be “complete” when all institutions have completed Calls 62-4 of the TRC’s Calls to Action (www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/bri…), and Canadians know their histories, harms inflicted from residential schools, atone for said harms, & make change. 2/11 #MWSOTL

I read the email from @CSSESCEE about #CSSE2022 that was sent out this morning, and I am profoundly disappointed and angry for so many reasons.
A thread. 1/x
#CdnPse#Congressh
In short, the email says conference proposals are due October 1 and because of Covid, we don't yet know if #CSSE2022 will be online or in person, but it will be held in conjunction with #Congressh.

Hi! I’m Danielle Lorenz, a PhD candidate at @UAlbertaEd & Knowledge Mobilization Editor for @TheCJDS.
My presentation comes from my lived experience as a disabled & chronically ill woman. #MCGConf2021PIF
I’m tweeting from what is currently called Edmonton, located w/in Treaty 6 lands. I mention this b/c as an educator, I want ppl to think about the histories of the land they live on, and how non-Indigenous peoples benefit from settler colonial processes. #MCGConf2021PIF

As someone who has had major surgery surgery during the PC, NDP, and UCP governments, let me tell you a little bit about what I know about surgical wait times. And how wrong the UCP are (quelle surprise) #ableg#abpoli
As a patient, your need for surgery is determined by (a) the severity of your concern and (b) the queue ahead of you.
Severity means how poor your quality of life is based on the wait.
