“…Project Re•Vision follows a generative disability arts movement that aims to give expression to disability experience and re-imagine bodily difference (Roman 2009). Since the 1980s, the disability arts and culture movement has been an integral part of the Disability Rights Movement across North America and in the United Kingdom (Abbas et al 2004).…”

The representational history of disabled people can largely be characterized as one of being put on display or hidden away. Self-representations have been a powerful part of the disability rights and culture movement, but recently scholars have analysed the ways in which these run the risk of creating a 'single story' that centres the experiences of white, western, physically disabled men. Here we introduce and theorize with Project Re•Vision, our arts-based research project that resists this singularity by creating and centring, without normalizing, representations that have previously been relegated to the margins. We draw from body becoming and new materialist theory to explore the dynamic ways in which positionality illuminates bodies of difference and open into a discussion about what is at stake when these stories are let loose into the world.Keywords: arts-informed methodology; representation; digital storytelling; body; story; disability and difference Points of interest• In this article we talk about a research project, Project Re•Vision, which is exploring representations and meanings of disability and difference through digital stories.• In our research project, we asked disabled people and healthcare providers to each make a digital story. We invite you to watch the digital stories as you read the article. Go to http://projectrevision.ca/videos/. Following the prompts, type in the password 'projectrevision'. • Digital stories are videos, two to three minutes long, that pair audio-recordings of personal narratives with visuals (photographs, short videos, artwork, etc.).• We end with the suggestion of being open to the possibilities -the creative, communal, and artistic possibilities -of how the digital stories made within our project disrupt problematic representations of disability.

“…However, there is some difficulty in recognizing the complete form of an object. In addition to perceiving objects and space through touch, blind people can also judge the size of space and the direction and speed of object movement through hearing (Roman, L. G. 2009). Hearing is an essential perceptual channel for blind people to absorb and learn information from the outside world.…”

Teachers have long been using mobile devices to support their personal learning. Especially during the COVID-pandemic, the professionalization of teachers demanded the use of mobile solutions, which requires them to apply self-regulated learning strategies. This article focuses on mobile self-regulated professional learning of Flemish teachers in primary education. The study examined (1) which profiles in self-regulated learning can be distinguished in a mobile learning environment and (2) whether there is a correlation between mobile self-regulated learning and the willingness to call on mobile learning. An explorative study was conducted by interviewing primary teachers (N=141) by means of an online survey. An explorative factor analysis confirmed that there are ten latent factors, which clustered around eight components (1) self-efficacy, (2) help seeking, (3) task appreciation, (4) goal-setting, (5) selfreflection, (6) strategical planning, (7) concretization and (8) metacognitive strategies. When comparing the subscales to age, a significant positive correlation was found with metacognitive strategies and strategical planning, indicating that older teachers utilized these self-regulatory strategies more than younger participants. In sequence, a latent cluster analysis identified two profiles in mobile self-regulated learning, namely a moderate and high profile in self-regulated learning. Furthermore, a bivariate test with Pearson correlation coefficient confirmed that there is a positive correlation between the overall score of mobile self-regulated learning of teachers and the degree to which they are willing to use mobile learning for their professional learning. More specifically, a correlation was found with the self-regulated learning skills: metacognitive learning strategies, self-reflection, concretization, and goal-setting.

“…There are clues as to how we might begin to think about how happiness in difference is experienced and expressed when we attend to artistic and performative examples of how happiness exists on the margins, in countercultures and arts communities. For example, since the 1980s, the disability arts and culture movement has been an integral part of the Disability Rights Movement (DRM) across North America and in the UK (Abbas, et al, 2004;Roman, 2009aRoman, , 2009b. The DRM, which emerged in the 1970s alongside other rights-based social movements such as the women's movement, the civil rights movement, and the queer liberation movement, was initially concerned with, and quite successful at, securing legal and civil rights for disabled people by engaging in policy reform and creating accessibility legislation (Oliver, 1991(Oliver, , 1996Shakespeare, 2006).…”

“…The vibrant disability arts movement that has developed in recent years as a new genre in Europe and North America gives expression to disability experience and challenges imposed marginalization by reimagining mental and physical difference (Allan, 2005;Gorman, 2007;Roman, 2009aRoman, , 2009b. Although (as yet) no parallel selfproclaimed fat arts movement has emerged to revision fat bodies in similar ways, artists like popular American 'zine writer, illustrator, and cartoonist Nomy Lamm, British portrait painter Jenny Saville (2005Saville ( , 2011, and Canadian self-described maximalist sculpture and installation artist Allyson Mitchell have, over the past twenty years, worked to resignify the fat female form.…”

This paper examines how fat and disabled subjects may be taught to appear as happy through biopedagogies in order to manage shame and disgust evoked by their unruly, non-conforming bodies. We begin by articulating what we mean by “biopedagogies”. We then unpack how the requirement to be happy feeds directly into a neoliberal agenda, which demands we must take care of ourselves both economically and emotionally in order to be considered good citizens. We explore how, in the midst of the requirement to be happy while living in bodies not recognised as inhabitable, we create and find moments of alterity in/of happiness. Through analysing art by disabled and fat activists and artists, we examine how disabled and fat people find happiness in difference, rather than in spite of it while at the same time, hanging on to rage and dull pain within this alterity of happiness.
