#introduction Hello fediverse! I'm a queer, disabled prof at McGill University, with a 50/50 appointment in computer science and education (DISE).

I'm currently on medical leave with #LongCovid. 😷

Generally my research has focused on the sociology of computer science education. #CSEd #STS #sociology

Other research interests of mine include sustainability education, critical pedagogy, history of CS, sociology of professions, #DisabilityStudies, and #QueerStudies. 🌈

I'm a cat parent, tree-hugger, Linux/FOSS enthusiast, and sci-fi nerd. Here is my void:

This post marks part of the transition from the DisPrecWork project to the Rest and Free Time project.

Working on a small oral history project:

https://tttimetospeak.org/

The idea is simple: preserve and share audio testimonies by people who stutter, with transcripts, metadata, #accessibility in mind, and a minimal/open-web approach.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people interested in #oralhistory, #history, #disability, #disabilityStudies, #disabilityhistory, #archives, #diversity, #digitalhumanities or #stuttering.
