I want to express my great appreciation for both the conference and streaming. We were able to join in some measure, even from far away. I also want to encourage more inclusion of persons who identify as disabled as keynote speakers. Disability, after all, cuts across identities and frequently becomes the most stigmatized and totalizing of identities. For those of us with complex identities, disability frequently becomes the identity most in need of inclusion.
