On April 4 Syracuse will be hosting a one symposium entitled Lives Worth Living. Organizing this symposium with the outstanding help of the Renee Crown University Honors office has been part of my job this semester as the visiting Watson Professor. I will be speaking on April 4 as will Brenda Brueggemann, Barbara Farlow, and Sheri Fink. This event is free and open to the public. Spread the word! It is going to be an exciting day for me and all involved. Link to the agenda: http://watsonsymposium.syr.edu Cannot help myself but here is a photo of me and the lady of my life.
Paralyzed since I was 18 years old, I have spent much of the last 30 years thinking about the reasons why the social life of crippled people is so different from those who ambulate on two feet. After reading about the so called Ashley Treatment I decided it was time to write a book about my life as a crippled man. My book, Bad Cripple: A Protest from an Invisible Man, will be published by Counter Punch. I hope my book will completed soon.

Please put a video of the symposium up on your blog! I would really love to attend but that is not an option since I live in South America.

While I cannot promise I anticipate a video of the conference will be made available at some point.
