Kerschbaum is an associate professor of English at the University of Delaware and a 2019-2020 NCID scholar-in-residence. During her time at the University of Michigan, she would love to connect with faculty working in disability studies, narrative and story-based research, Deaf studies/sign language studies, as well as with those who work on projects related to faculty mentoring, supporting minority and underrepresented faculty, and issues around academic culture and institutional transformation.
She received her PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2005. Her work focuses on understanding how the ways people interact can help higher education institutions address issues of diversity and difference. Her first book, Toward a New Rhetoric of Difference, was awarded the 2015 Advancement of Knowledge Award from the Conference on College Composition and Communication.
In her current project, Dr. Kerschbaum is developing the concept of "signs of disability" to work alongside markers of difference (Kerschbaum, 2014). "Signs of disability" asks that we attend to the signs of disability all around us and collectively build new ways of noticing and engaging disability in our everyday lives. Combined with markers of difference, signs of disability enable understanding of not only how difference moves but also how difference matters.vizualizați mai puține
