4. Dysfluent with Conor Foran

How should stuttering look in text? Can representations of stuttering in written form reflect its spontaneity and variety? Host Patrick Campbell is joined by Chris Constantino and artist Conor Foran to discuss how Conor’s final project in art school led him to a decade-long project in creating a typeface, Dysfluent Mono, that represents stuttering. Conor explains how the font tries to escape stereotypical references of stuttering and his journey to publishing the magazine Dysfluent, which uses the font.  Links * Conor Foran [https://conorforan.com/] * Dysfluent [https://dysfluent.org/] magazine * ‘Making Waves’ stuttering pride flag [https://dysfluent.org/flag] - Dysfluent magazine * Stuttering Can Create Time [https://whitney.org/exhibitions/people-who-stutter-create] billboard by People Who Stutter Create collective * Stuttering Foundation of America [https://www.stutteringhelp.org/] * Portraits of people stammering [https://paulastonpainter.com/people-stammering/] - Paul Aston * JJJJJerome Ellis [https://www.jjjjjerome.com/]  * Willemijn Bolks [https://willemijnbolks.nl/] * Stutterology [https://www.stutterology.com/] - Ezra Horak * The Clearing [https://www.jjjjjerome.com/the-clearing] - JJJJJerome Ellis Chris Constantino is a stutterer and speech language pathologist at Florida State University who teaches stuttering and counselling to graduate students, and supervises therapy.

3. Stuttering Gain with Christopher Constantino

What does it mean to be proud of one’s stutter? What does one gain from their stutter? Hosts Patrick, Maria, and Josh are joined by Chris Constantino to discuss his radical essay Stuttering Gain and dive into the world of stuttering pride. In this episode, they talk about the unique experience of stuttering and how we can find benefit in stuttering, as opposed to only thinking about stuttering as a lack of fluency. While the experience of stuttering is difficult, Chris argues that this doesn’t mean there is nothing we have to gain or be proud of.  Links * Stuttering Gain [https://isad.live/isad-2016/papers-presented-by-2016/stories-and-experiences-with-stuttering-by-pws/stuttering-gain-christopher-constantino/] by Chris Constantino (2016) * Difference in Itself’: Validating Disabled People's Lived Experience [http://doi.org/10.1177/1357034x99005004002] by James Overboe (1999) * The Question of Access: Disability, Space, Meaning [https://utppublishing.com/doi/book/10.3138/9781442610002] by Tanya Titchkosky (2011) * Honest Speech by Erin Shick * Two access options: Youtube [https://youtu.be/j8XOyY54-Ew?si=gf4otvob0ec_6G6z] (no text version but video has captions, better audio); Voicemail Poems [https://voicemailpoems.org/2019/08/22/honest-speech/] (with text, lower audio quality) * Stammering Pride and Prejudice [https://www.jr-press.co.uk/product/stammering-pride-prejudice/] edited by Patrick Campbell, Christopher Constantino, Sam Simpson (2019) * Forced Intimacy: An Ableist Norm [https://leavingevidence.wordpress.com/2017/08/06/forced-intimacy-an-ableist-norm/] by Mia Mingus (2017) * Access Intimacy: The Missing Link [https://leavingevidence.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/access-intimacy-the-missing-link/] by Mia Mingus (2011) * Distressing Language: Disability and the Poetics of Error [https://nyupress.org/9781479813827/distressing-language/] by Michael Davidson (2022) * The Case for Conserving Disability [http://doi.org/10.1007/s11673-012-9380-0] by Rosemary Garland-Thomson (2012) * The Gift of Stuttering [https://www.ted.com/talks/ian_wilkie_the_gift_of_stuttering] by Ian Wilkie for TEDxFrensham (2022) * On the Negative Possibility of Suffering: Adorno, Feminist Philosophy, and the Transfigured Crip To Come [https://dsq-sds.org/index.php/dsq/article/view/3869] by Kelly Fritsch (2013) * Conor Foran [https://conorforan.com/] * JJJJJerome Ellis [https://www.jjjjjerome.com/]  Chris Constantino is a stutterer and speech language pathologist at Florida State University who teaches stuttering and counselling to graduate students, and supervises therapy.
