Flyer for Mad at School: Navigating Discourses of Mental Health in Graduate Education

This interactive workshop will focus on key concepts from Price’s book Mad at School: Rhetorics of Mental Disability and Academic Life. Questions will include, “What does it mean to ‘participate’ in everyday academic life as a disabled or neurodivergent person?” and “What are the implications of discussing mental health issues in academic venues?” Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to share their own thoughts, experiences, and questions about mental-health access in higher education. Lunch will be provided.
