Katherine Ding
SLE Lecturer
BioKatherine Ding is a Lecturer for Structured Liberal Education. She received an MA in English Literature and Critical Theory from UC Irvine, and a PhD in English Literature from UC Berkeley. Prior to arriving at Stanford, she taught both critical and creative writing at Mount Tamalpais College (formerly the Prison University Project) in San Quentin, at Outer Coast College in Sikta, Alaska, and at UC Berkeley.
Braiding creative non-fiction with critical analysis, Katherine’s dissertation on the British Romantic poet William Blake explores what it means for knowledge to be fully embodied, and what the disembodiment of knowledge has cost us. Her current book project expands that inquiry—diving into fields as diverse as the neuroscience of interoception, exercise science, anthropology, and childhood development—to explore how the human organism observes, feels, and learns in relation to others in its embodied milieu.
In the classroom, Katherine is fascinated by the ever-shifting question of how we learn. Where do our ideas come from? What practices foster and facilitate good thinking? How might writing transform rather than simply express our thoughts and ideas? What is the relationship between reading, thinking, feeling, and writing? -

Undergraduate, Inter-Departmental ProgramsBioHi! My name is Sam (she/her/hers). I’m a sophomore at Stanford University studying Communication and Disability Studies. I have a passion for creativity and advocacy; along with showcasing my artwork online through Instagram, I use my skills to help advocate for Autistic and Disabled rights (@ArtsBySam). I always strive to bring about positive change and I value the beauty of human connection and expression.
I currently work as the Assistant Coordinator for the Stanford University Disability Community (DisCo) Space. I help create graphics needed for newsletters and Instagram, manage our social media, organize events, and help make the DisCo Space as inclusive as possible.
