Stephanie Kerschbaum, author of the new book “Signs of Disability,” will discuss her latest work at Edmonds Bookshop on May 18.

The event will begin at 6 p.m. at the book store, 111 Fifth Ave. S., Edmonds.

In the book, Kerschbaum uses real people’s stories to open up a better understanding of disability and how it is perceived.

Kerschbaum, an associate professor of English at the University of Washington, has been honored for her work in inclusion and accessibility.

The event will be live-streamed on the Bookshop’s Facebook page, and also available to watch later.
