I think I'm too tired & sick to rebuild my networks from scratch but here goes:

I'm Eelam Tamil #disabled (#fibromyalgia, #mecfs & #pots) and my work revolves around the politics & poetics of chronic pain; biocultural approaches to disability; academic ableism; & Euro-Western ocularcentrism. I also write about the #TamilGenocide in Sri Lanka. I'm obsessed with #Hades and my Siberian cat Athena.

Catch me here (but still mostly on Twitter).

#introduction

Hi! I'm new here, though I probably should have introduced myself a little sooner. 😅

I'm a rhetorician studying the rhetoric of health and medicine, with a focus on the intersection between charting, health literacy, and technical communication. I'm also interested in public health messaging/rhetoric.

I'm on sabbatical till June '23 to focus on my research, after which I'll return to full-time teaching.
