I have drawn inspiration and received encouragement from many teacher-scholars and colleagues during my years at College of Charleston and now East Carolina University who deserve my thanks, whether for collaborative efforts on disability film series, conversations or both: Nancy Ausherman, Martha Chapin, Liz Johnston, Morgan Koerner, Cindy May, Marylaura Papalas, Alison Piepmeier, Steve Sligar and Alison Smith. Thanks also to the Film Studies folks at ECU, particularly Anna Froula, Amanda Klein and Justin Wilmes. Special thanks to all those seeking to bring Hispanic Studies into dialogue with Disability Studies as an interdisciplinary area – above all Susan Antebi, Encarnación Juárez Almendros and Matthew Marr, but also Julie Avril Minich and Victoria Rivera-Cordero. Thanks too to the graduate students and faculty at the University of Illinois for an invitation to speak there on disability and Spanish cultural production in 2015, which proved very encouraging. I am most grateful to Abby, Ben and Judd, from whom I continue to learn much about disability and society outside of academic contexts.
