Some questions this dialogue hopes to address are:</p> <ul> <li>How can your classroom, curriculum, and approach meet the needs of all your students?</li> <li>How can teachers successfully support students with disabilities in the classroom, in all the various and compound ways it may show up?</li> </ul> <p>Joining us for this event are disability rights activists Kennedy Healy (Crip Crap Media) and Whitney Hill (SPORK!) to inform us on some ways to be more knowledgeable and direct advocates for Chicagoland students.</p> </div></div> </div> <div id="row-2" class="row-section row-wysiwyg " data-title="About the Speakers" > <div class="wysiwyg-section std-content"><div class="wrap"><h2>About the Speakers</h2> <p><strong>Kennedy Healy</strong> (she/they) is a Fat, Queer, Crip writer and media maker. From Omaha, Nebraska, and now based in Chicago, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Women and Gender Studies with an individualized concentration in Disability Studies from DePaul University. Healy has experience working directly with people with various types of disabilities in nonprofit settings and consulting on disability and accessibility in medical, academic, arts and culture, and other industries. Her visual art and photo project (made in collaboration with Marley Molkentin) titled <em>Care</em> has been featured at Gallery 400, in the <em>Chicago Reader</em>, and on the Disability Visibility Project blog. Their musical <em>Care: The Musical</em> was a finalist for the The William S. Yellow Robe Jr. Playwright Residency and the recipient of Residency Fellowships from 3Arts/Bodies of Work and the Ragdale Foundation. Healy’s is currently working on a television show and children’s books. </p> <p>Healy is the founder of Crip Crap, a podcast, blog, and consulting firm that launched in December 2021. “Crip” is a term reclaimed by people with disabilities that is derived from an ableist slur. When we say the words <em>crip</em> and <em>disability</em>, we are using expansive senses of these terms to engage in cross-disability work. This takes into account crip, sick, mad, ill, neurodivergent, Deaf, blind, and other disabled people and adjacent communities. Crip Crap understands the liberation of disabled people is intertwined with the liberation of all marginalized people, and are committed to creating intersectional work that takes into account race, class, gender, sexuality, size, faith, etc. While their work is created first for people with disabilities, they invite others to learn about disability culture through it.</p> </div></div> </div> <div id="row-3" class="row-section row-two_column_wysiwyg divider" data-title="" > <div class="two-col-wysiwyg std-content"> <div class="wrap"> <p> </p> <div class="two-col"> <div class="col-1"><div id="attachment_5857" style="width: 245px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5857" decoding="async" src="https://visit.mcachicago.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Whitney-Hill-headshot-235x300.jpg" alt="" width="235" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-5857" srcset="https://visit.mcachicago.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Whitney-Hill-headshot-235x300.jpg 235w, https://visit.mcachicago.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Whitney-Hill-headshot-801x1024.jpg 801w" sizes="(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px" /><p id="caption-attachment-5857" class="wp-caption-text">Whitney Hill.
