[nabs-l] pop culture portrayals of disabilities

[Miso Kwak]

Sophie, so great to hear that you and your friend are working on this topic.
First thing that comes to my mind is Fault in Our Stars by John Green
- both the book and the movie.
If I think of anything else, I will write more later.
Best,
Miso Kwak
