Theme:

Roundtable
When:
11:00 AM, Saturday 2 Aug 2014 EDT (40 minutes)
Come discuss how and if disabilities are represented in YA literature. With a focus on The Hunger Games, Divergent,and Harry Potter, take an indepth look and theorize on how a disabled person would be required to adapt in these other universes. What would happen to a disabled citizen of Panem? Would this effect the reaping? What if a muggle born who was disabled was invited to Hogwarts, would they be required to be cured before admittance? Does being able to choose a faction help the disabled assimilate?
