Talk: "Bridges, Not Barriers: Critical Embodiment and Storytelling Across Locations" with Dr. Christina Cedillo

Please join the UWP and SOIS for "Bridges, Not Barriers: Critical Embodiment and Storytelling Across Locations," a talk followed by conversation with Dr. Christina Cedillo, an associate professor of Writing and Rhetoric at the University of Houston-Clear Lake in Houston, Texas. Her primary area of interest lies at the intersections of race, gender, and disability and in her work she examines how legal, scientific, and popular discourses circumscribe the lives of marginalized populations (rhetorics of embodiment), and how they, in turn, enact rhetorical presence and engage in re-humanization practices (embodied rhetorics) using multimodality and digital technologies.
