As part of an increased recognition of the importance of thinking intersectionally and with respect to the feminist and gendered aspects of current disability and representation theories, the UCLA Theater Department is pleased to host Dr. Victoria Lewis, a long time television and theater actor with a physical disability, UCLA PhD graduate, and professor emerita of Redlands University, as one member of a panel on Representation of Disability. Dr. Lewis was founder of the Center Theatre Group “Other Voices” project which worked not only with actors and writers with disabilities, but other marginalized groups like Latina and African American teen mothers and blue-collar workers.
