One form of hacking can occur through the design of Writing Studio, a one-hour peer workshop that provides a necessary off-shoot from normative composition instruction. Writing Studio disables composition as standard practice and institutes an open-access curricular space that reconfigures practice as usual. Drawing upon key concepts from disability, this article shows how the studio approach promotes writers’ interdependence, out of which develops writer agency and confidence.  \n“I feel very good when I not only receive help but also when I can help others. I have never been good at writing. I didn’t expect anyone would want or take my advice”  \n(Chloe, Writing Studio Student)  \n“Composition is not always an accessible space”  \n(Jay Dolmage,“Mapping Composition” 14)  \nOver the past ten years, disability scholars in composition studies (Dolmage; Kerschbaum; Lewiecki-Wilson and Brueggemann; Price; Vidali; Wood; Yergeau) have urged writing program administrators and teachers to place disability in central dialogue with curricular design in order to re-shape rhetorical boundaries, conventions, and instructional practice. Such shape-shifting opens possibilities for more situated teaching and learning practices. Through local action such as curricular re-design, WPAs and teachers can push back against “academic ableism,”what Jay Dolmage and other disability studies scholars identify as the ever-present ideology of institutions that maintain a homogenous elite student body in terms of perceived mental, intellectual, and bodily ability (Academic Ableism) . By restructuring academic spaces—physical and curricular—to include difference, teachers can design pedagogies that re-cast capability as full-bodied and variously capacious rather than lacking.  \nIn this article, I argue that teachers and WPAs can work together to hack fixed, standard curricula and carve out pedagogical spaces that foreground access by creating a disability-infused curriculum. Bringing disability discourse to curricular design and teaching disrupts the structure (and authority) of disembodied learning. As a choreography of movements and inter-actions among different bodies, curricular design should be, after all, an invitation to share space and participate in knowledge-making for all members. A disability-infused curriculum shifts pedagogical focus from silent universals, such as standard SLOs that all students should meet or exceed, to relationships, support, and collaborative inclusion. Toward that end, I study a local scene of writing studio curricular design to demonstrate how the studio model may deliver a space conducive to disability and difference. Writing Studio is a one-hour elective peer-workshop course that aims to implement a one-on-one pedagogical approach. The studio model in particular disables composition pedagogy by inventing more inclusive spaces for student engagement and possibility.  \nWriting Studio can be understood as a “hack” of the traditional writing classroom. As described by Walls, Schopieray, and DeVoss, hacking is “a useful activity for reworking the spaces in which we teach”(“Hacking Spaces” 270) . Icontend that studio pedagogy enables us to hack—disrupt the infrastructures and ideologies—that sustain inaccessible learning. In the case of writing studio design, hacking enables new radical dimensions for classroom dynamics, operations, and interactions. Studio alters the traditional communication role between teacher and student and disrupts the typical linear mode of pedagogical delivery because students come to have power to as","cbCaidzZkiyrsK7P","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidzZkiyrsK7P","pdf",171716,16,"English","# Composition Forum 39 - Summer 2018\n## Hacking the Curriculum, Disabling Composition Pedagogy: The Affordances of Writing Studio Design\n## Key Arguments and Disability-Infused Curriculum\n## Implications for Writer Agency, Access, and Inclusion","[{\"question\":\"What does the article mean by “hacking” the curriculum?\",\"answer\":\"It frames hacking as reworking the spaces where writing is taught, disrupting infrastructures and ideologies that sustain inaccessible learning.
