Muscular Drooping and Sentimental Brooding: Kenneth Burke’s Crip Time–War Time Disability Pedagogy

Shannon Walters

Abstract

This article argues for understanding Kenneth Burke’s linguistic pedagogy as a teaching practice rooted in the appreciation of disability. It explores connections between the Cold War cultural context and the present day, describing how a nuanced approach to disability pedagogy can resist impulses toward competition and conflict in the classroom and on the world stage.
