MRIC rescheduled due to finals week
The presentation “Feeble-Minded, Mentally Impaired or Cognitively Challenged? Constructionist (and Constructivist) Perspectives on Our Shifting Language of Disability” of the University of Idaho Malcolm M. Renfrew Interdisciplinary Colloquium has been rescheduled in light of finals week.
Kurt Queller, one of the MRIC presenters, said they were concerned about attendance at the presentation because students and faculty have busy schedules during finals week. The presentation will take place August 27 when classes resume in the fall.
Queller said Sophie Raineri, a linguist at the University of Paris, will join him for the presentation via Skype or Facetime. Queller and Raineri will discuss the changing terms for disabilities in society.
The MRIC is a series of lectures by UI faculty and staff who present
and describe teaching methods and research in their disciplines.
