- This links to an open educational resource compiled by students in INT/HON 208 in the fall on the theme of Disability Visibility. It is meant to be shared with students at UMA as a resource for our academic theme. It includes a section on education, generally, and then a section for resources in Humanities, Social Sciences, the Sciences, and the Arts. It is imperfect, but over 100 pages of resources, links, and abstracts.
