I am sure you are already following our news by subscribing to the Institute on Disabilities' RSS feed (;-), but just in case, I am posting this reminder for this week's 'Geo-politics of Disability' guest lecture on the Temple campus.
James Charlton from Access Living, Chicago, IL (+ author of the key disability studies text Nothing About Us Without Us) will be on campus this week, discussing disability and neoliberal capitalism in a paper titled "Rage Against the Machine." Learn more about the lectures.
Day and Time: Wednesday, March 18, from 12 noon to 1:30 pm
Location: 1810 Liacouras Walk Conference Room, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122
Abstract: Individuals with disabilities having experienced lives of marginalization essentially alone for the past several hundred years. Ironically, in the same historical moment that people with disabilities became a (social) group, they became alone. Today, they are no longer alone as individuals but are essentially alone as a dispersed community. Then again, it could be said that they are a dispersed community even though segregated. Or possibly more ignominiously, their history of segregation and exclusion has made people with disabilities invisible. According to Charlton, one cannot know disability without recognizing its complex and perplexing particularities. Each paradox and contradiction illuminate what the vast majority of disabled people do to survive such a precarious state-of-being and what they must confront in order to transform it.
