Book presentation »Crip Authorship: Disability as Method«

Live-Stream via Zoom HERE

Join editors Mara Mills (New York University) and Rebecca Sanchez (Fordham) for a discussion of Crip Authorship: Disability as Method, an expansive volume presenting the multidisciplinary methods brought into being by disability studies and activism, forthcoming in July from NYU Press. Starting from the premise that disability is plural and authorship spans composition, affect, and publishing, this collection of thirty-five compact essays asks how knowledge about disability is produced and shared in disability studies. Three of the volume’s authors will share excerpts from their chapters:

• Alison Kafer (University of Texas, Austin), “Manifesting Manifestos”
• Teresa Blankmeyer Burke (Gallaudet University), “ASL Books and Chirocentric Publication”
• Jen Deerinwater (Cherokee Nation, Crushing Colonialism), “Crip Indigenous Storytelling Across the Digital Divide”

With: Mara Mills, Rebecca Sanchez, Alison Kafer, Teresa Blankmeyer Burke, Jen Deerinwater
