This panel discussion with Professors Janet McCracken and Holly Swyers is hosted by the Social Justice Program with support from the philosophy department.

Both Professor McCracken and Swyers have encountered the topics of accessibility and disability in their broader research on aesthetics and cultural transmission, respectively. After hearing about how their research guided them to these topics, the critical and constructive insights their research has yielded, and how they integrate these findings into their teaching, the panel will be opened to questions from our audience.
