Event Details
Disability studies professor Margaret Price offers a different way of thinking about disability in the academy.
Disability studies (DS) has reached a point that Price calls a "crisis of precarity." This crisis of precarity is a state in which neoliberal logics of wealth, privilege, and power are replicated within DS, doing material violence to some members of the discipline, while the discipline itself continues to flourish. Price outlines the ways DS has reached this crisis of precarity, and in response, offers a different way of thinking about disability, a theory of crip spacetime.To illustrate this theory, she presents findings from an interview study with disabled faculty. Her analysis of these findings illustrates ways that precarity manifests for disabled faculty, but also ways that, through collective accountability, we can push back against the neoliberal logics of the university. Through acts of micro-rebellion as well as efforts toward structural change, we can work toward greater justice, not only for disabled individuals, but also within the discipline of DS itself. Although her analysis was based on faculty members, she draws attention to information and strategies that are applicable to all UW employees as well as students.
