The faculty is invited to a pedagogical luncheon Thursday, Dec. 8, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Memorial Union Great Room.
During the luncheon, Margaret Price, associate professor of writing at Spelman College, Atlanta, will give a presentation on universal access. Price teaches rhetoric and composition specializing in disability studies and creative nonfiction.
In her book, “Mad at School: Rhetorics of Mental Disability and Academic Life,” Price argues for ways academia could be re-designed to become more accessible for people with disabilities of all kinds, including mental disabilities. She has given plenary talks and addresses at numerous conferences and enjoys visiting campuses to talk about access from perspectives of gender, race, disability, class and discipline.
Price also will present an academic administrators workshop on collegiality, productivity and working with faculty with disabilities from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the Memorial Union Room of Nations.
NDSU FORWARD is sponsoring Price’s visit. The Pedagogical Luncheon series is sponsored by the Office of the Provost. To register for the events, visit www.ndsu.edu/FORWARD.
