Hello everyone,
I realized that the previous format of this blog had a dark background, something that someone with a visual impairment, like Todd himself, would have difficulties reading. So it now has a much simpler format, with less emphasis on color and larger type.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY RESEARCHER DIES SUDDENLY
Dr. Todd Reynolds of Syracuse University died suddenly Sunday at his home at the Skyline Apartments in Syracuse Sunday. Reynolds was a post-doctoral fellow at the university’s Center on Human Policy, Law, and Disability Studies. He was working on an advanced training project in rehabilitation research and disability policy co-directed by Professors James Bellini and Steven J. Taylor and funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. At the time of his death, Reynolds was working on scholarly papers for presentation at conferences and publication in professional journals. “Dr. Reynolds was a promising young scholar in Disability Studies,” said Taylor, “and it’s tragic that he will not be able to fulfill his potential.”
Reynolds specialized in the experiences of people with disabilities in natural disasters. He received his Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Oklahoma in 2007. His dissertation focused on how people with disabilities prepare for and cope with tornados and other severe weather in the mid-west. During his time at Syracuse University, Reynolds was interested in how people with disabilities adapt to heavy snow-fall. In conducting his research, Reynolds drew on his own experiences as a person with severe disabilities, including limited sight and hearing as well as mobility impairments.
Dr. Reynolds has been teaching a summer session course on the Geography of Disability through University College and the Geography Department at Syracuse University. He was assisted in this course by Liat Ben-Moshe, doctoral student in Sociology and Disability Studies, and supported in his work by Cyndy Colavita, office coordinator in the School of Education.
