Sharing around the Disability Studies Quarterly table

The current issue of Disability Studies Quarterly (subscription required) includes a cyber roundtable discussion on blogging and disability. Yours truly is one of the panelists, which also includes: Scott Rains (of The Rolling Rains Report Blog), Ruth Harrigan (of Wheelie Catholic), The Goldfish (of Diary of a Goldfish), Kay Olson / Blue (of The Gimp Parade), Alicia "Kestrell" Verlager (of The Blind Bookworm Blog), The Wheelchair Dancer (of Wheelchair Dancer), Emma Crees (of The Life and Times of Emma) and Stephen Kuusisto (of Planet of the Blind). It was an honor to be part of such a group. (Photo by Malinda Welte via morgueFile.com)

Darren,
Enjoyed your contribution to the roundtable - very much needed with your perspective as a parent of a child with a disability! The work you do toward providing resources for other parents is wonderful - I send folks over here from my blog and get so busy that I haven't even thanked you. Take care,
Ruth

Thanks for the kind words regarding my DSQ piece. I really felt honored to be included. While reading yours, which I found very insightful, I was struck with the thought that this was a real opportunity for even those of us familiar with each others' Web work. In almost every case, this was by far the most extended piece of writing that I had read from any of these bloggers. It was very interesting to see the group expanding on their thoughts beyond the parameters of the typical blog post. That's some good reading.
