Note: You do not get to dictate how I describe myself in my own bio. Identity-first language is a personal choice and a very important one to me. I am proud of how my brain works because it makes me me. So please be respectful of how people refer to themselves.

I spoke about the films in a way that showed care and compassion for those on the screen from my own lived experience. I am now the Dr. when 100+ years ago I would have potentially been the one filmed. That honour is not lost on me. I hope I did them proud.

Thank you to the SCSMI conference for allowing me to screen part of these films. It’s very likely the first time in 120 years that someone who experiences the same seizures themselves has screened the films.

These films have been screened in medical schools, “freak shows”, and in avant-garde film circles in the 120 years since. They were gawked at and othered.

Please also join us for lunch on June 12th for the Film Bytes screening. It'll be a fun program of Canadian university-related films.

Please also feel free to say hello. I'm excited to hear what everyone else is up to.

On June 10th I'll be presenting "From Edmonton to Ottawa and Beyond: Disability Participation at the Annual ACA Conference." It'll be interesting presenting on the ACA conference while AT the ACA conference. How meta!

I am hoping a book review can be included in the upcoming accessibility guest edited issue of the Moving Image. This could be a great opportunity for a graduate student to be published for the first time.
