2. Royster states that "we need to get over our tendencies to be too possessive and to resist locking ourselves into the tunnels of our own visions and direct experiences." What can we do as composition instructors to help our students see beyond their own visions and direct experiences in order to better understand the world as a whole? Any writing assignment ideas or particular readings that come to mind?

1. In "Where We Are: Disability and Accessibility" there are many lesson plan ideas presented on how to incorporate disability and accessibility awareness in the classroom. What are some experiences you have had in the classroom or can imagine implementing as a teacher to create an open and safe environment that encourages awareness for disabilities and for each student's own unique sense of self?

Keri, I believe disability should be given as much importance as race, gender, class etc when it comes to class discussions, syllabus and other components of the classroom. This way, students who identify as disabled will feel a sense of belonging, and with this comes a sense of safety.
