teaches WIND 2100, Introduction to Disability Studies; WIND/WMST 2700, Gender and
Disability; and WIND/SOWK 4020/5020, Disability Studies Theory. Her work for her master’s
degree focused on the narrative construction of intellectual disabilities, mothering
and disability, and life narratives of children with intellectual disabilities. In
her thesis, she wove together theoretical and creative approaches to explore the various
meanings of intellectual disability. Alison enjoys introducing students to the versatility
and creativity of disability studies theory and research methodologies.
