Reclaiming Disability Studies

“What’s going on?” aims to launch a discussion sandwiched between a sense that disability studies is always too little and too much. Told to be more, and assumed to be less this discussion offers some provocations as to how we might reclaim the place of disability in disability studies and in the midst of critical endeavors at the University and beyond.
Please join us in this discussion led by the provocations of the following topics & speakers:
· Whose Blindness is this? Rod Michalko, Writer
· Whose Theory is this? Dan Goodley, Sheffield University, UK
· Whose Research is this? Rebecca Lawthom, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
Above the St. George Subway; Accessible Washrooms; ASL and/or scripts provided, no scents please, FREE
