Kathryn Waring

I’m a multimedia writer & disability studies scholar based in Hamilton, Ontario.

I’m a multimedia writer, disability studies scholar, and PhD candidate in Communication, New Media, & Cultural Studies at McMaster University.

My essays & criticism have appeared in Essay Daily, The Normal School, The Rumpus, and American Literary Review, among other literary magazines.

I received my MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of Pittsburgh. Currently, I'm at work on my first book, which examines the history of America's first epileptic colony, my own family's experience with epilespy, and the ways in which we remember (or don't) the history surrounding us.
