Rebekah Taussig will challenge everything you think you know about disability as she invites us into her experience of living in a body that looks and moves differently than most.

“What would it mean for disabled folks if society saw us as acceptable, equal, valuable parts of the whole?” she writes in her memoir, Sitting Pretty: The View From My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body. She is also the author of the children’s picture book We Are the Scrappy Ones (Lerner), a poetic celebration of resourcefulness, resilience, and belonging.

Admission is free, no tickets are necessary, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

A book signing will immediately follow her talk. A QR attendance code will also be available for students at the conclusion of the talk.

7:00pm - 8:30pm
  • Location: GH 0511
  • Time: 7:00pm - 8:30pm
