Here Kathleen A. King Thorius and Federico R. Waitoller respond to "Harvard Educational Review's" Spring 2017 forum on their 2016 article "Cross-Pollinating Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy and Universal Design for Learning: Toward an Inclusive Pedagogy That Accounts for Dis/Ability." The forum invited six scholars from the field of disability studies who have helped create and spread culturally sustaining pedagogy to discuss the opportunities and challenges of "cross-pollinating" these two approaches. The authors rejoin the conversation, clarifying and expanding on the forum's comments.
