"Mental Health in a Disabling Landscape: Forging Networks of Care in Graduate School"
About the AuthorLiz Miller is a PhD student of rhetoric and disability studies in the English department at The Ohio State University. She is intrigued by the ways that minds and bodies move through public spaces, now and at various historical moments, and wishes to draw attention to diverse ways of being, dwelling, participating and/or subverting. This, ideally, will translate into the construction of accessible classroom pedagogies as well as caring and sustainable life practices more generally. Miller’s current research delves into care networks among graduate students, particularly focusing on mental health strategies for surviving in a disabling institution. Contents |
