Join us for a conversation with Dr. Margaret Price, Associate Professor and Director of the Disability Studies Program at Ohio State University and author of "Crip Spacetime: Access, Failure, and Accountability in Academic Life" (Duke University Press, 2024), and Dr. Hannah Taylor, Lecturer in the Thompson Writing Program.
In her new book, Price intervenes in the competitive, productivity-focused realm of academia by sharing the everyday experiences of disabled academics. Drawing on more than three hundred interviews and survey responses, Price demonstrates that individual accommodations-the primary way universities address accessibility-actually impede access rather than enhance it.
Light refreshments will be served. Books will be available fo purchase and signing.
In-person but participants can also join on Zoom.
Co-sponsored by the Duke Disability Inclusion & Community Empowerment Affinity Group (DICE), the Department of English, and Duke University Press.
