In this video, M. Remi Yergeau reads aloud from an essay-poem—on disability, identity, and passing—while text dynamically moves across the screen. The video considers the following: What does it mean to identify as disabled? In what ways do our field's discursive frameworks on disability perpetuate stigma and shame? This text is published in the May 2012 (18.1) issue of the Topoi section of Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy.
