Notes
Consisting of WIPs, process reflections, pain posts, and informal academic conversations and other material migrated from older sites, these entries document my வித்தியாசம்/viththiyaasam (difference) to demonstrate how anomalous embodiment is the norm, and to make a difference for other BIPOC/diasporic/anomalously embodied/queer students and scholars in the U.S. These shortform “Notes” honor both my disabled capacities and my desire to build knowledge. Updated sporadically due to disability. Click on individual posts for permalinks.
