Join the UIC Disability Cultural Center and the Department of Disability and Human Development for a conversation with Margaret Price about her new book, Crip Spacetime: Access, Failure, and Accountability in Academic Life (Duke University Press)!
In Crip Spacetime, Price intervenes in the competitive, productivity-focused realm of academia by sharing the everyday experiences of disabled academics. She explores how disability factors into the exclusionary practices found in universities, with multiple marginalized academics facing the greatest harms. Highlighting the knowledge that disabled academics already possess about how to achieve sustainable forms of access, Price boldly calls for the university to move away from individualized models of accommodation and toward a new system of collective accountability and care.
Access Info: We will have CART and ASL, and ask that attendees wear a mask for Covid safety. Please email dcc@uic.edu with any questions or requests!
