San Diego Comic Con is just around the corner, and that means that we are finally getting the scoop on panels!

Just announced today is the very exciting news that we will be getting “DisSDCC: Representation, Inclusion, Accessibility” — a panel focusing on disability representation in media and fandom. There will be a discussion followed by a Q&A.

The panel will occur on Friday, July 19 from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Room 28DE. Panelists will include featured guests Rachel Miner (Supernatural, D&D Live), Shoshannah Stern (This Close, Supernatural), and Nic Novicki (Easterseals Disability Film Challenge). Other panelists include: Cindy Kapp, Kai Winchester, Emy Cook, and Lynn Gagne. It will be moderated by Tanya Cook (Always Keep Nerd Fighting). Every panelist is disabled and is passionate about being self/community advocates. Interpreters will also be present for the entire panel and following Q&A.
