[Themaintainers] Maintainers events at SHOT in Philadelphia (Oct 26-29)

[Slaton,Amy]

Thanks, Andy and Lee,
Very excited to see many Maintainers in Philadelphia!!
Possibly some folks might be interested in my SHOT paper on Friday: I’ll be talking about tech innovation and contribution as ableist conceits, and what that means for thinking about “the opposite of innovation.”

That’s in:
F26 –“Problematizing the Pipeline: Understanding Ability/Disability in STEM” (Org. Jessica Martucci)

Best,
Amy
