Hello DSSG community!
We are seeking panelists for a proposed roundtable session on disability, neurodiversity, and AI for CCCC 2027. The roundtable format will allow for an open, generative conversation about how AI can function as supplemental and assistive technology and as a means of pursuing crip technoscience, while also holding space for critical perspectives on AI’s actual and potential harms.
We are particularly interested in opening up questions around what it means to use AI accessibly and ethically within disability and neurodiversity frameworks, including the contested terrain of disability-informed defenses of AI (sometimes called "cripwashing"). We welcome diverse perspectives and lively debate.
The CCCC 2027 submission deadline is 9:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday, May 27, 2026. We could use one or two more panelists, so if you are interested in joining, please email us with a brief paragraph describing your focus by May 8. Feel free to forward this invitation to anyone who might want to participate.
