How to Read With Other Ears & All Our Ears with Jana Bennett

Welcome to Read Like a Reader!

This week we hear from Jana Marguerite Bennett, chair of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Dayton. Much of Jana’s work and life is about gratuitous welcome. How good.

In this episode, Jana and I discussed: Hearing with the heart, and the hand, with “computer hearing aids,” and digital hearing aids; hearing as collaborative work; the politics of ASL; speech therapy; ear-driven writing; her work on women and disability, disability studies, disability in fiction, and disability theology; hospitality; mainstreaming, being a deaf person in a hearing world; her secret superpowers; and the great gift of silence.

Jana recommends The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the work of Rick Riordan.

Becoming a reader is lifelong, inexhaustible work. What postures do you practice as a reader now? What postures could you practice next?
