Dear scholars! I am organising a panel for ICA26, and would like to invite interested panelists. Please see details below if you would be interested. *Panel: Addressing Inequalities in Inter-Ability Communication: Explorations of Practice, Performance, and Presentation* *Topic Description: *This panel will explore how disabled individuals, scholars, performers, and artists center their narratives through communication that incorporates or conveys their perceptions, navigation of the world, or sense of reality. The common social scripts for communication require communicators to be matched within "norms" of ability and access. This expectation creates pressure to conform with conventions of delivery that effectively marginalize any expression that does not fit the culturally sanctioned scripts, whether due to necessity (e.g., bodily or neurological limitations) or comfort (e.g., what feels natural within a particular body). This panel explores what happens when that pressure to conform is relaxed, and disabled individuals find or create space to freely to express themselves according to what they can do very well, their lived and embodied experiences, and what feels natural for their bodies or minds. *Looking for panelists who feel their work intersects with this topic including:* research, practice, presentation, art, humor, or performance --- *About me: *My Name is Emmanuel-Sathya Gray. My interdisciplinary work in communication and community psychology currently focuses on what performers and artists teach us about breaking patterns of deference to dominant narratives, and bringing our realities from the margins to the center stage. I have published on activism, climate justice, and resilience, and am working on a book chapter (under review) and paper (in progress) related to the disruptive use of humor by disabled comedians on social media. --- If you are interested in joining me on this adventure to make this panel happen, please reach me at grayea@mail.uc.edu and send me some information about the work you'd like to discuss. Looking forward to corresponding with folks!
